In the run up to International Women's Day, and during Women's History Month, PRS for Music unveiled the 100 Women Changing Music list, featuring a number of UMPG writers, including Adele, Lily Allen, Dua Lipa (TaP Music), Annie Lennox, Jin Jin and more. 

The list, which charts "the 100 most influential female songwriters and composer in the UK" comes alongside the announcement that nearly 2,000 women registered to become PRS members in the UK in 2019 - an increase of 60% from the previous year - though still only 18.4% of the total PRS membership is female.

See the full list of UMPG songwriters below, and read more about the list and action being taken to re-balance the gender gap in the music industry on the PRS for Music website.
