Inside the package are GBP200, a list of four famous feminists and a grisly surprise. All this plus the impassioned plea: 'I MUST SMASH THE GLASS CEILING. STOP ME IF YOU CAN ...PLEASE STOP ME.'

Person
Anabel Donald has been writing fiction since 1982 when her first novel, Hannah at Thirty-five, was published to great critical acclaim. The Notting Hill series - her five crime novels about female sleuth Alex Tanner - met with equal success in the 1990s, and were followed by Be Nice - a female dystopian novel inspired both by William Golding's classic Lord of the Flies and thirty years of Donald's own experiences as a class teacher - in 2002.
