BITCH. SCOLD. HARRIDAN.

For centuries past, and all across the world

DRAGON. TIGRESS. SHE-DEVIL.

There are words for a certain kind of woman

FURY. HARPY. SPITFIRE.

Words that raise our hackles, fire up our blood

HUSSY. SIREN. VIXEN.

Words that tell a story

In this blazing cauldron of a book, the boldest writers of our day take up these words and take up their pen, celebrating fifty years of Virago.
