Call Number	810.9/92870975
Author	Wells, Jonathan Daniel, 1969- author.
Title	Women writers and journalists in the nineteenth-century south / Jonathan Daniel Wells. Women Writers & Journalists in the Nineteenth-Century South
Physical Description	1 online resource (xii, 244 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Series	Cambridge studies on the American South
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Contents	Introduction -- Foundations. Reading, literary magazines, and the debate over gender equality -- Education, gender, and community in the nineteenth-century South -- Women journalists and writers in the Old South. Periodicals and literary culture -- Female authors and magazine writing -- Antebellum women editors and journalists -- Women journalists and writers in the new South -- New South periodicals and a new literary culture -- Writing a new South for women -- Postwar women and professional journalism -- Epilogue.
Summary	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 new 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. 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.
