The 1970s witnessed a renaissance in women's print culture, as
feminist presses and bookshops sprang up in the wake of the
second-wave women's movement. At four decades' remove from that
heady era, however, the landscape looks dramatically different,
with only one press from the period still active in contemporary
publishing: Virago. This engaging history explains how, from modest
beginnings, Virago managed to weather epochal transformations in
gender politics, literary culture, and the book publishing
business. Drawing on original interviews with many of the press's
principal figures, it gives a compelling account of Virago's place
in recent women's history while also reflecting on the fraught
relationship between activism and commerce.
