The Virago Story : Assessing The Impact Of A Feminist Publishing Phenomenon - 9781785338557

The landscape now looks different, with only one press from the period still active in contemporary publishing: Virago. This history explains how Virago managed to weather transformations in gender politics, literary culture and the book publishing business.The book gives an account of Virago's place in recent women's history while also reflecting on the relationship between activism and commerce.
