Summary:

The lives, publications, and historical contexts of thirty-five female editors of newspapers and periodicals in the 19th-century West, from 1854, when the West's first woman editor began her work, through the turn of the century. With its in-depth portraits of pioneering women editors and its appendix listing more than two hundred women and the major repositories where their extant publications are kept, the book draws a large group of 19th-century western women out of historical obscurity.
