Discover Norton: RBF 2025 Publisher Highlights
Guest
The oldest and largest publishing house owned by its employees. Taking pride in independence, W.W. Norton & Company has consistently published books that reflect their social moments and resonate well beyond them.
A few of Norton’s era-defining trade books include The Feminine Mystique, by Betty Friedan, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2023 and launched the Second Wave feminist movement; Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange, one of literature’s most transgressive and brutal satires, which ignited a debate over social control in the modern state; Robert F. Kennedy’s Thirteen Days, his first-hand account of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
