A new writers' prize for older women, launched this weekend, is intended to turn the page on a troubled chapter for the Royal Society of Literature (RSL).

The £10,000 award is funded by its outgoing president, author Bernardine Evaristo, and will mark a new conciliatory mood among fellows after a period of rebellion in the ranks, followed by changes to the society's leadership.
