Winifred Black worked in journalism from 1888 to 1936, often
writing under the pseudonym Annie Laurie. Her work appeared in the
Hearst papers - especially the San Francisco Examiner - and in
fifty additional newspapers weekly through syndication. Black wrote
10,000 short pieces, as well as three books, a nonfiction oeuvre
that combined quasi-autobiographical details with characters and
scenes to provide cultural analysis for a nationwide audience. She
wrote about the realities facing modern women - their work, their
marriages and divorces, the violence they endured, their need for
independence. Contemporary praise for Black named her ""the world's
most famous feature writer"" and ""one of the world's most
successful reporters,"" while her critics affixed the pejorative
labels ""stunt girl"" and ""sob sister."" This study covers her
influential career and gives the first serious attention to her
journalism and nonfiction.
