A founding director of Virago Press in 1974, she worked there with a committed team as the company rapidly developed an international reputation, repositioning and rediscovering women writers and, over two decades, transforming both the literary canon and the contemporary publishing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1990s, Owen became Cultural Policy Advisor to the Labour Party and Chief Executive of Index on Censorship. Yet behind these and other signal achievements lies the story of a refugee, a child who fled the Nazis, was educated at Putney High School, went up to Oxford, worked as a psychiatric social worker, travelled extensively, married and became a mother. In this compelling memoir, we discover an extraordinary life, with all its messiness, and meet a woman who’s always fought for ideas against a background of the tumultuous conflicts of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220769001816,"sku":"9781784631871","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781784631871.jpg?v=1778498146","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/single-journey-only","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
