A bold, brilliant anthology of feminist tales from sixteen bestselling, award-winning writers, Hag is fierce, fearless, and gloriously unruly.

Banshee. Dragon.
Tygress. She-devil. Hussy.
Siren. Wench. Harridan.
Spitfire. Fury. Virago.

For centuries, across cultures and continents, these words have been used to define, diminish, and dismiss women. Words that provoke discomfort, spark anger, and carry stories steeped in power.

In this blazing, defiant collection, sixteen acclaimed writers reclaim those labels and transform them into something extraordinary. Each story takes a word once weaponised against women and reshapes it into a tale of resistance, wit, rage, desire, and survival. The result is a collection that is as entertaining as it is incendiary.

Inventive, unapologetic, and deeply satisfying, Hag is a celebration of voices that refuse to be silenced and stories that refuse to behave. Introduced by Sandi Toksvig, this anthology is a rallying cry and a literary feast.
