Samantha Harvey has become the first woman since 2019 to win the prestigious Booker Prize.** Her book, 'Orbital', tells the story of astronauts looking down at Earth and was named the winner at a ceremony in London.

This is a significant win for women authors, as they have been underrepresented in the Booker Prize's history. The shortlist this year featured five women, the largest number in its 55-year history. Harvey is the 19th woman to win the award since 1969, compared to 36 male winners. The Queen was among the first to congratulate the author, describing the novel as 'brilliant'.
