DRAGON. TIGRESS. SHE-DEVIL. For centuries past, and all across the world HUSSY. SIREN. WENCH. there are words that have defined and decried us. HARRIDAN. MUCKRAKER. SPITFIRE. Words that raise our hackles VITUPERATOR. CHURAIL. TERMAGANT. fire up our blood; FURY. WARRIOR. VIRAGO. 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 pens, celebrating fifty years of Virago. "Given writers of such calibre, it’s no surprise that Furies is a slick collection of clever tales, with something for bluestockings and banshees alike." - The Guardian.
