This collection of original critical essays explores how women periodical editors in the long 19th century redefined women's identities and roles, and influenced public opinion about such issues as abolition and woman suffrage.

“...many of the essays usefully draw attention to women who have escaped the attention of literary and publishing history or to aspects of the careers of women authors that have been ignored.”—Legacy
