Kira Cochrane

[12] Cochrane wrote a column for the New Statesman magazine from 2006 to July 2008[13] and has written occasionally for other news sources such as The Huffington Post.

Since beginning her career with The Guardian in 2006, Cochrane continues to produce content covering women's empowerment and female leaders in progressivism.

[15] In a 2017 interview with The Heroine Collective, Cochrane expresses her passion for writing with The Guardian:"I always felt it was my duty to run pieces about the more enjoyable sides of women's lives, as well as the everyday sexism and horror," she says.

[28] Escape Route for Beginners landed Cochrane as the youngest author nominated for the Orange Prize for Fiction, at 27 years old.

As a supporter of fourth wave feminist movements, Cochrane constructs All the Rebel Women as a tribute to those who are promoting change.

[31] In 2013, The Guardian posted an extract of the short novel and summarizes it as such:"Kira Cochrane's 'All the Rebel Women' collects the voices making up a new fourth wave of feminism.

[33] The fourth wave focuses on supporting movements such as body positivity and sex-positivity, as well as protecting the rights of the LGBTQ community.

It's defined by technology: tools that are allowing women to build a strong, popular, reactive movement online.
