Women
in Print Women readers, editors, librarians, authors,
journalists, booksellers, and others are the subjects in this
stimulating new collection on modern print culture. The essays
feature women like Marie Mason Potts, editor of Smoke Signal,
a mid-twentieth century periodical of the Federated Indians of
California; Lois Waisbrooker, publisher of books and journals
on female sexuality and women's rights in the decades after the
Civil War; and Elizabeth Jordan, author of two novels and editor
of Harper's Bazaar from 1900 to 1913. The volume presents
a complex and engaging picture of print culture and of the forces
that affected women's lives in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
This book is published in a collaboration
among the University of Wisconsin Press, the Center for the History
of Print Culture in Modern America (a joint program of the University
of Wisconsin–Madison and the Wisconsin Historical Society),
and the University of Wisconsin–Madison General Library
System Office of Scholarly Communication. |
