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 Signals"", 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.
James P. Danky is director of the Center for the History of Print Culture in Modern America at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Wayne A. Wiegand is the F. William Summers Professor of Library and Information Studies and professor of American studies at Florida State University.
