Eve's Century A Sourcebook of Writings on Women and Journalism 1895-1918

This collection of womens journals and magazines from the turn of the twentieth century offers a mixture of prophecy and retrospect, looking forward to the new age and back at the birth of the modern woman. Both American and British journals of the time couple excitement with anxiety as women contemplate a coming era of inclusion. Articles range from the iconoclastic to the trivial, from proposals for the disenfranchisement of the male to a dinner menu for the last Christmas of the nineteenth century. Womens anticipations were driven by the rapidly changing conditions then surrounding their world, illustrated here by sections on: prophecy women and war colonial women the politics of emancipation girlhood. With an introduction about womens journalism at the turn of the twentieth century, the book is arranged by subject to focus on what the pivotal moment of transition into the new century represented for women.Varty, Anne is the author of 'Eve's Century A Sourcebook of Writings on Women and Journalism 1895-1918' with ISBN 9780415195454 and ISBN 0415195454.
