Pinter Publishers was a British publishing company set up in 1973 by Frances Pinter, at the age of 23. It focused on the social sciences and is believed to be the first British publishing company owned by a woman.[1]
Pinter Publishers earned a reputation for its willingness to take on works that other publishers considered too risky or radical. Many of these books went on to become seminal texts: helping to push forward debates and enabling new disciplines. The company grew into one of the UK's major specialist Social Science publishers, with exports accounting for over 80% of its sales.
