Arundhati Roy and Sarah Perry are among the 16 authors longlisted for The Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction in 2026.
Awarded for excellence, originality and accessibility in narrative non-fiction, the prize was launched in 2024 following a study that found only 35.5 per cent of winners across major UK nonfiction awards over the previous decade were women. It is a companion to the globally recognised, long-established Women’s Prize for Fiction.
