Virago is a British publisher of women's writing and books on feminist topics. Started and run by women in the 1970s and bolstered by the success of the Women's Liberation Movement (WLM), Virago has been credited as one of several British feminist presses that helped address inequitable gender dynamics in publishing. Unlike alternative, anti-capitalist publishing projects and zines coming out of feminist collectives and socialist circles, Virago branded itself as a commercial alternative to the male dominated publishing industry and sought to compete with mainstream international presses.

(en) Virago Press ist ein englischer Verlag, der sich besonders mit anspruchsvoller Literatur von Frauen und für Frauen befasst. Virago Press wurde 1973 von Carmen Callil gegründet, die sich darüber wunderte, dass es Spezialverlage für alle möglichen Interessen und Minderheiten gab, aber keinen, der sich um „52 % der Weltbevölkerung“ kümmerte – nämlich die Frauen. Das Verlagsprogramm war von der „Women’s Lib“-Bewegung beeinflusst, jedoch nicht radikal feministisch ausgerichtet; damit sah sich der Verlag oft zwischen den Stühlen, bekam jedoch auch bald Auftrieb durch die starke Reaktion der Medien. Mit seinem spezifischen Programm wurde Virago in der Öffentlichkeit schnell zu einem Begriff. Virago feierte 2013 sein 40-jähres Bestehen. (de)
