Virago on the other hand was huge for me and I’m endlessly impressed by the work they’ve done to recover and encourage women’s voices whilst making them easily available.Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-72310525432628927182020-01-24T13:17:53.078+00:002020-01-24T13:17:53.078+00:00It should do, and it’s a lovely book to dip in and...It should do, and it’s a lovely book to dip in and out of.

Maybe I should soon since I am going to be on vacation in the U.K. in a few weeks and I always look for Virago Modern Classics while I am there. This might give me some titles to look for.
