Dear Reader,
Welcome to Virago – a feminist publisher of outstanding books for all readers, now celebrating our 50th birthday.
Since we began in 1973, our mission has been to champion women’s voices and, more recently, books by people of underrepresented genders, 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.
We love hearing what Virago’s writers and books mean to you. Tell us what you’re reading, what you think about our jackets, if there’s an author event you’ve particularly enjoyed, which ideas (or even arguments) our books have sparked, or tweet us a photo of your classic Virago green spines!
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sarah Savitt
Virago Publisher
