Carmen Callil, founder of Virago publishers, dies age 84

[Talipesmum]

Sad to see this on FB - so many excellent books come through Virago publishing. I particularly associate it with the Angela Carter books I fell in love with many years ago, but of course so many more. Great bio in the link below too.

Oh I am sorry to hear that, an inspirational woman, and so many wonderful books given to the world. Thank you for the link.

Oh no. We’ve lost a real pioneer. RIP.

I loved virago as a teenager. my sixth form college had an excellent collection and I actively sought them out.

the odds were always good of a wonderful book that would speak to me
