The Women’s Room (being a correction to the concept of ‘the Ladies’ Room’), written by Marilyn French and first published in 1977, was considered to be a keynote text for the universal Women’s Liberation Movement. It was ‘the kind of book that changes lives’, said Fay Weldon, and it must have changed some lives because, in the 30 years since, it has sold 20 million copies worldwide. It is republished this year in homage to its classic status.
