Our VIRAGO wishlist for 2018

As we have kicked off our Virago Secret Santa (and thanks to Jane for her sterling work in organising this!), I thought it might be worth us having a thread for Virago wishlists, in case anybody wanted to post lists here to help Santa along with his shopping! I know *my* LibraryThing is not up to date, and I expect I'm not the only one, so lists here may help Santa with some of his decisions! :D

An excellent idea - thank you, Karen!
