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.
