Dame Carmen Callil: Feminist publisher

Dame Carmen Callil, who died in October this year, founded feminist publisher Virago Press in 1972 to promote women’s writing. In this programme first broadcast in 2019, she tells Claire Bowes how she hoped to put women centre stage at a time when she and many others felt side-lined and ignored at work and at home.Music: Jam Today by Jam Today courtesy of the Women’s Liberation Music Archive.(Photo: Dame Carmen Callil 1983.
