"This volume offers insights into women's participation in the editorial field... the essays are well written and interesting."—Victorian Periodicals Review

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
