A Bite of the Apple: A Life with Books, Writers and Virago'The moment I got my job at Virago in 1978 I knew it would be a long time before I would leave. I certainly wouldn't have had the brazen hope then only twenty five and very recently new to Britain that I would ever become the Publisher, but I did know that I had found my home: where books, ideas, politics, imagination, feminism, and business was the air we breathed . . .' A Bite of the Apple is part memoir, part history of Virago, and part thoughts on
'The moment I got my job at Virago in 1978 I knew it would be a long time before I would leave. I certainly wouldn't have had the brazen hope then-only twenty-five and very recently new to Britain-that I would ever become the Publisher, but I did know that I had found my home: where books, ideas, politics, imagination, feminism, and business was the air we breathed . . .' A Bite of the Apple is part-memoir, part history of Virago, and part thoughts on over forty years of feminist publishing. This is the story of how the authors and staff who, driven by passion, conviction and excitement, have made Virago Press one of the most important and influential English-language publishers in the world. Lennie Goodings has been with the iconic press founded by Carmen Callil almost since the start. First a publicist and then for over twenty years, publisher and editor, she has worked with extraordinary authors: Margaret Atwood, Marilynne Robinson, Sarah Waters, Linda Grant, Natasha Walter, Naomi Wolf and Maya Angelou among many others. Virago has been a life-changer for Lennie Goodings - but certainly not only for her. Following the chronology of the press and the enormous breadth of the Virago titles published over these years, she sets her story in the context of feminism, and segues into thoughts on editing, post-feminism, reading, breaking boundaries, and the Virago Modern Classics. Virago lives within the tension between idealism and pragmatism; between sisterhood and celebrity; between watching feminism wax and wane at the same time as knowing so many of the battles are still to be won. This book is about how it felt to be there. A Bite of the Apple is a celebration of writing, of publishing, and of reading.Binding Type: Hardcover

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rich lather, fresh bergamot scent, leaves skin soft, clean, and refreshed every shower!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Body Wash — Clean, Fresh, and Luxurious!
I’ve tried a lot of body washes, but Cremo Rich‑Lathering Italian Bergamot Body Wash has quickly become my go‑to. The moment you use it, you can tell it’s high quality — it produces an unbelievably rich and creamy lather that feels luxurious on the skin. The Italian Bergamot scent is fresh and masculine without being overpowering — just the right balance of citrus and sophistication.
It cleans thoroughly without stripping moisture, leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated, not tight or dry like some body washes do. The large 32 fl oz bottle lasts a long time, so it’s great value too.
Whether you’re starting your day or winding down after the gym, this body wash elevates the shower experience. Highly recommend! 💯

Awesome!
The Cremo Rich-Lathering Italian Bergamot Body Wash has completely elevated my morning routine, and the 32 fl oz bottle offers incredible value by lasting twice as long as the standard size. The scent is sophisticated and "boutique-quality," featuring a bright, crisp blend of Italian bergamot, neroli blossom, and fresh vetiver that actually evolves and reveals different notes as you wash. It builds into an astonishingly rich, creamy lather that leaves my skin feeling thoroughly clean and moisturized without any of that annoying sticky residue some other brands leave behind. It’s a refreshing, all-season fragrance that smells premium and masculine without being overpowering, making it the perfect base before heading out. If you’re looking for a high-end shower experience that won't break the bank, this Reserve Collection wash is a definitive five-star choice

Amazing
Before this, my favorite body wash was sage and citrus. Not just for cremo, any body wash. Amazing body wash for the entire line, so any scent you choose, you won't be disappointed. Lathers well, rinses off well enough after some scrubbing (good because it gives you a chance to exfoliate and scrub) but stays clung to your skin for a moisturized and cologned feeling.
Italian bergamot is better than sage and citrus. smells like cologne, smells like a night out.
I was hesitant to buy because idk what berhmot, vetiver, etc smell like, but now I do.
Good value for the size. First shower, I used like 5 or 6 pumps just to really get to know it, but I bet 3 is good for most people.

Clean, Fresh, and Confidence Boosting
It has a really clean and calming scent that stands out without being overpowering like other body washes. The smell is less chemical per se. The bergamot gives off a sense of serenity while still making you feel fresh and put together. It lathers well and leaves you feeling genuinely clean after every shower.
What I liked most is that the scent actually sticks around throughout the day. Catching a hint of it later on gave me a small boost of confidence and that “I’ve got myself together” feeling. Definitely a good value for its worth.
