50th anniversary edition for Virago Press, illustrated by Eleanor Rose

Beautiful cover by Eleanor Rose for the 50th anniversary edition of the first book ever published by Virago Press. We adore the colours and textures of this Lino illustration. Eleanor is able to capture a real sense of place, atmosphere and feeling.

‘Full of dignity, courage and humour, and as fresh and insightful as the day it was written, FENWOMEN is a vital portrait of rural women’s lives – not only as they were lived in the 1970s in one Cambridgeshire village, but in the generations before it, all over the country, and reaching forward into today’s world, too’ Melissa Harrison
