We were delighted to hear that Lisa Appignanesi has received an OBE for services to literature in the the New Year Honours List 2013.

As well as her many books, of which Mad, Bad and Sad and All About Love are both published by Virago, she was a deputy president, then president, of English PEN for many productive years during which time, among other achievements, she led the No Offence Campaign which led to amendments to the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006. 

Lisa Appignanesi also co-edited Fifty Shades of Feminism, which is published by Virago this March.
