Virago,英國倫敦之女書出版社

BBC在國際婦女節之前,做節目慶祝。
介紹英國倫敦之女書出版社:
This programme is not currently available on BBC iPlayer. Documentary telling the story of publishing house Virago Press, which dared to set itself apart to champion women's literature in an industry dominated in the 1970s by men. ... Factual > Arts, Culture & the Media > Arts.




Virago is London based British publishing company committed to publishing women's writing and books on feminist topics.[1] Started and run by women in the 1970s and bolstered by the success of the Women's Liberation Movement (WLM), Virago has been credited as one of several British feminist presses that helped address inequitable gender dynamics in publishing.[2] Unlike alternative, anti-capitalist publishing projects and zines coming out of feminist collectives and socialist circles, Virago branded itself as a commercial alternative to the male dominated publishing industry and sought to compete with mainstream international presses.[3][4]

History[edit]

Virago was founded in 1973 by Carmen Callil, primarily to publish books by women writers


(International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8 every year. It is a focal point in the movement for women's rights. After the Socialist Party of America organised a Women's Day on February 28, 1909 in New York, the 1910 International Socialist Woman's Conference suggested a Women's Day be held annually. Wikipedia
