Title: The illustrated Virago book of women gardeners
Description: Virago Press, 1995.1st edition.Paper covers.ISBN: 0316852473.Fine/No Jacket.With a rather limited selection of already famous women garden writers, the book makes no attempt to reach back into the 18th century where women garden writers were very few in number.It often refers to the plants favoured by particular women gardeners, though it isn't made clear whether it is their gender that determines the selection.Still, Virago deserves credit for being quick off the mark in anthologising what has become a 21st century obsession.The inclusion of Germaine Greer, erstwhile 'Rose Blight' of Private Eye, is an interesting choice.
