Vane Women, founded in 1991, is a writing, performing and publishing collective based in Darlington.

In 2016/17 they were invited to be part of 'Tell Her Story', supported by Creative Darlington. Curated by Michaela Wetherell, paintings from the Darlington Borough Council's collection of unknown women, some of which were by unknown artists were selected, and Vane Women were asked to look at the works to create their own writing.

S.J. Litherland, a founding member of Vane Women, wrote this poem in response to 'Lady with a Bird'.
