Biography
Edited by Lorna Shelley
'Shelley provides a wealth of material that would be difficult to access for all but the most intrepid researcher. Some of it comes from well known writers... but most is from writers and magazines that might otherwise be lost to obscurity. ... Making such obscure material readily available obviously rescues it from the proverbial dustbin of history, offering nuanced views of the period and women's professional role in it.'
- Jane Marcellus, Middle Tennessee State University, USA'The collection's strength is in its variety and its availability.' - Jane Marcellus, Middle Tennessee State University, USA
'Female Journalists of the Fin de Siècle makes a strong contribution to feminist history by excavating material about women's professional lives that might be otherwise left to languish.' - Jane Marcellus, Middle Tennessee State University, USA
