The first study to focus on white and black women journalists and
writers both before and after the Civil War, this book offers fresh
insight into southern intellectual life, the fight for women's
rights, and gender ideology. Based on fresh research into southern
magazines and newspapers, this book seeks to shift scholarly
attention away from novelists and toward the rich and diverse
periodical culture of the South between 1820 and 1900. Magazines
were of central importance to the literary culture of the South
because the region lacked the publishing centers that could produce
large numbers of books. Easily portable, newspapers and magazines
could be sent through the increasingly sophisticated postal system
for relatively low subscription rates. The mix of content, from
poetry to short fiction and literary reviews to practical advice
and political news, meant that periodicals held broad appeal. As
editors, contributors, correspondents, and reporters in the
nineteenth century, southern women entered traditionally male
bastions when they embarked on careers in journalism. In so doing,
they opened the door to calls for greater political and social
equality at the turn of the twentieth century.
