{"product_id":"the-virago-story-catherine-riley-9781785338083","title":"The Virago Story: Assessing the Impact of a Feminist Publishing Phenomenon","description":"\u003cp\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Riley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785338080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785338083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Catherine Riley","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48088804032767,"sku":"9781785338083","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13fe2c81-b8d9-4422-813c-4c10e11331d0.jpg?v=1769106653","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-virago-story-catherine-riley-9781785338083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
