Margaretta's work has focused on auto/biography, letter writing and oral history, particularly in relation to women's movements. She is the editor of The Encyclopedia of Life Writing (2001) and author of In Love and Struggle: Letters in Contemporary Feminism (2008), for which she won the Feminist and Women's Studies Association UK Book Prize.

She currently leads The Business of Women's Words: Purpose and Profit in Feminist Publishing, funded by the Leverhulme and partnered with the British Library.

Whose fault is it that there's so much so horribly wrong with the world? 'The tension over womanhood as something to defend or transcend, prioritise of contextualise, remains central,' as Jolly cautiously puts it. 'The ongoing appeal of radical feminism is that it addresses primal fears of sexual violence, alongside equally primal pleasures in women's community, desire and love'.
