"Riley's book does a terrific job of laying out the context in which Virago first appeared and its transformations over time. Not only does it evocatively capture a historical moment, but it also serves as an important case study in business history, provides a critical intellectual history of feminism, and even alters our understanding of the book itself." . Jennifer Scanlon, Bowdoin College

"Scholars in the fields of book history, publishing studies, and gender studies will welcome the arrival of this book-an important and long overdue study charting how one of the world's most established feminist presses not only survived but also found ways to adapt and thrive in a radically restructured political and publishing landscape." . Kate Eichhorn, The New School
