'This book should be regarded as rescue work. It salvages from
pre-Victorian periodicals from the limbo of forgotten publications,
and exhumes from long undisturbed sources a curious collection of
women who, at a time when it was considered humiliating for a
gentlewoman to earn money, contrived to support themselves by
writing, editing, or publishing... sometimes even supporting
husbands and children as well...The women who emerge make a motley
gallery; but over the years that I have been getting to know them,
they have won my respectful affection. More, indeed. To me they are
all heroines...' Alison Adburgham, from her Foreword Magazines
addressed to women have a long history in English, and have been
subject to condescension for just as long. Alison Adburgham's
groundbreaking volume, first published in 1972, rescues the
so-called 'scribbling female' from such scorn, not least by
documenting just how hard was the struggle for women writers to
live by the pen.
