The Superwoman and Other Writings by Miriam Michelson is the first
collection of newspaper articles and fiction written by Miriam
Michelson (1870-1942), best-selling novelist, revolutionary
journalist, and early feminist activist. Editor Lori Harrison-Kahan
introduces readers to a writer who broke gender barriers in
journalism, covering crime and politics for San Francisco's top
dailies throughout the 1890s, an era that consigned most female
reporters to writing about fashion and society events. In the
book's foreword, Joan Michelson-Miriam Michelson's great-great
niece, herself a reporter and advocate for women's equality and
advancement-explains that in these trying political times, we need
the reminder of how a ""girl reporter"" leveraged her fame and
notoriety to keep the suffrage movement on the front page of the
news. In her introduction, Harrison-Kahan draws on a variety of
archival sources to tell the remarkable story of a brazen, single
woman who grew up as the daughter of Jewish immigrants in a Nevada
mining town during the Gold Rush. The Superwoman and Other Writings
by Miriam Michelson offers a cross-section of Michelson's eclectic
career as a reporter by showcasing a variety of topics she covered,
including the treatment of Native Americans, profiles of suffrage
leaders such as Susan B. Anthony and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and
police corruption. The book also traces Michelson's evolution from
reporter to fiction writer, reprinting stories such as ""In the
Bishop's Carriage"" (1904), a scandalous picaresque about a female
pickpocket; excerpts from the Saturday Evening Post series, ""A
Yellow Journalist"" (1905), based on Michelson's own experiences as
a reporter in the era of Hearst and Pulitzer; and the title
novella, The Superwoman, a trailblazing work of feminist utopian
fiction that has been unavailable since its publication in The
Smart Set in 1912. Readers will see how Michelson's newspaper work
fueled her imagination as a fiction writer and how she adapted
narrative techniques from fiction to create a body of journalism
that informs, provokes, and entertains, even a century after it was
written.

Tom drew off the crowd, having passed the old gentleman's watch to
me, and I made for the women's rooms.
