[close] But once a woman stole the initiative, plundered the perquisites and took the lead, what happened to the globe? The fabric cracked [Daphne du Maurier] We explore books that Virago has recognized as a particularly valuable voice in women's literature. The publisher gathered them in the collection Virago Modern Classics. Of course, we read those titles also from different publishers ("green spines" are rather hard to find). Virago is a feminist publishing company founded in 1973 in the UK, "the most vigorous, stylish and successful British publisher of women's literature, it is the largest women's imprint in the world". The full collection (over 700 titles) is here --> https://www.virago.co.uk/imprint/lbbg/virago/page/virago-modern-classic-collection/

You're walking deep into the dark woods, following the small glowing stones that gently light up the pathway. The summer breeze cools your skin, and you close your eyes to breathe in the beautiful scent of the trees. Sometimes you see a fluffy tawny owl perched high up on the branches, its beady eyes quietly looking down at you, and other times you spot a sleek red fox nearby, quickly running away before you come near it. The soft moonlight shines down upon the enchanted forest, and eventually, you reach your destination. In front of you is an old large tree, with a magical wooden door appearing from nowhere. A sign is written, saying: A Little Tree Hollow. You hear the light echoes of fairy music coming from behind it, and the delicious scent of cookies wafts out through the gaps. Like always, you give a gentle knock on the door, and the secret magical treehouse opens itself for you to enter. officially started on Jan. 19th, 2022
