This September, BBC Books will publish Doctor Who: The Women Who Lived, a beautifully illustrated collection of inspiring tales of the women of Doctor Who. It will be the first official book published to accompany the new series, celebrating Jodie Whittaker’s debut as the Thirteenth Doctor.
今年九月，BBC图书部门将出版《Doctor Who: The Women Who Lived》——一部装帧精美、有关《神秘博士》中那些激动人心的女性角色的书籍。这也是第一本庆祝Jodie Whittaker出演第十三任博士而推出的官方图书。
Written by Christel Dee, former presenter of YouTube series Doctor Who: The Fan Show, and author Simon Guerrier, the book will feature more than 75 inspiring tales of remarkable women of the Whoniverse, both real and imagined.
这本书由Christel Dee和Simon Guerrier联合撰写，Christel Dee曾担任YouTube系列栏目《神秘博士：粉丝秀》的主持人。本书包含了“神秘博士宇宙”中75个值得铭记的女性故事，包括剧集中的角色，也有幕后花絮。
From historical figures such as Agatha Christie and Queen Victoria to fan favourites like Bill Potts and River Song, each of these women has made a unique contribution to the world of Doctor Who. Whether they’re facing down Daleks or thwarting a Nestene invasion, they don’t hang around waiting to be rescued – they roll their sleeves up and get stuck in. Scientists and soldiers, queens and canteen workers, women from outlandish science-fiction and those steeped in real history, they don’t let anything hold them back.
从阿加莎·克里斯蒂、维多利亚女王这样的历史形象，到深受粉丝喜爱的Bill Potts和River Song，每位女性都为《神秘博士》的世界做出了独特贡献。不管是直面Daleks还是阻止塑料人的入侵，她们不会束手无策、等待救援，而是撸起袖子，参与其中。科学家、士兵、女王、食堂员工，从奇异故事的主角到历史洪流中的人物，每一位姑娘都不会被任何事物所阻挡。
Illustrated throughout with specially-commissioned artwork by a team of female artists – Jo Bee, Gwen Burns, Sophie Cowdrey, Lydia Futral, Kate Holden, Bev Johnson, Dani Jones, Sonia Leong, Cliodhna Lyons, Mogamoka, Valentina Mozzo, Naniiebim, Lara Pickle, Emma Price, Katy Shuttleworth, Natalie Smillie, Rachael Smith, Raine Szramski, Tammy Taylor, Emma Vieceli and Caz Zhu. The book also features new companion Yasmin, and an extended entry on the Thirteenth incarnation of the Doctor.

Albert DePetrillo, BBC Books Publishing Director, says:
"We thought long and hard about which book would start our publishing programme for Jodie Whittaker’s first series of Doctor Who – and Christel and Simon’s book is the perfect choice. It’s bold and fresh in its approach, it makes a strong statement, it’s beautifully written, and stunning in its design. It represents everything we love about Doctor Who, and we couldn’t be happier to be publishing The Women Who Lived on the BBC Books list."
BBC图书出版总监Albert DePetrillo：
“哪本书能开启Jodie Whittaker出演博士之后的图书出版计划呢？我们考虑了很长时间，最后决定这本就是最好的选择。题材大胆而新颖，观点鲜明，语言优美，还有惊艳的装帧设计。它浓缩了我们对《神秘博士》的爱，非常高兴能将这本书加入BBC的出版计划。”
Christel Dee says:
"With Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor arriving this autumn, we thought this would be the perfect time to reflect upon the wealth of incredible female characters from Doctor Who’s 55 year history – because there are so many! We hope the stories in this book will inspire a whole new generation of fans and existing fans too."
作者Christel Dee：

Simon Guerrier says:
"We hope this offers a fresh perspective on the history of Doctor Who, a chance to celebrate the richness of past episodes as well as looking forward to the series’ exciting future. I thought I knew Doctor Who backwards, but we discovered loads of new things in our research for the book."
作者Simon Guerrier：
“我们希望这本书能为回顾《神秘博士》的历史提供一个全新的视角。不仅仅是重温它丰厚的剧集宝藏，未来更加激动人心，让人充满期待。我曾以为自己很了解《神秘博士》的历史了，但在为这本书做研究的过程中，不时有新发现。”
