Welcome to Virago – A feminist publisher of outstanding books for all readers

Since we began in 1973, our mission has been to champion women’s voices and bring them to the widest possible readership around the world. From fiction and politics to history and classic children’s stories, our writers continue to win acclaim, break new ground and enrich the lives of readers. More recently, as part of our commitment to an ever more inclusive feminism, we also publish and welcome submissions from writers of underrepresented genders. 

This collector’s edition of Carter’s classic features artwork by Andrea Zanatelli, gold foil finishes and custom endpapers. Limited to just 1000 copies, this limited edition is available exclusively from the Virago Store.
