Boris Johnson announced the first coronavirus lockdown one year ago. Ten UK women describe how their lives have changed during one year in lockdown. 

Coronavirus: one year in lockdown

The whole day leading up to the announcement felt apocalyptic. I’ll never forget that feeling

Coming to terms with the fact that my work is not the entirety of my identity has made me a lot happier

As immigrants, the hardest thing has been the travel restrictions. We have a 19-month-old daughter, and my family are missing out on seeing her grow

I remember thinking this disease will affect Black people and the working class the most and worrying     

I remember my partner and I both saying we felt like we were watching a disaster movie

The past year has finally taught me that it’s impossible to have an iron-clad grip on your future

Rescue animals really have rescued me this year
