A Celebration of Women Writers

Mary Mark Ockerbloom has created an awesome website called

A Celebration of Women Writers

 Mary has collected books written by early woman authors.  The books are online for you to read to save.  She has also included images within the book!  I really like when an early books is republished and the authors take the time to scan the pictures.

 Books are listed under the following categories:

• Diplomatic Difficulties

 

• Newbery Awards

 

• Utopias & Science Fiction

 

• World's Fair Women

 

Mary Mark Ockerbloom: I'm married, with two small kids. My husband works as a digital library architect. I run a website that lists information about and books by women authors. As part of "The Celebration of Women Writers", I publish online editions of out-of-copyright books by women authors. This blog is used to announce new online editions of books being published by The Celebration of Women Writers.

I hope you enjoy!

Women in Gutter Journalism, The Arena, Dec 1896

 In the previous post I talked about the article by Joe Saltzman.  In that article he quotes from Haryot Hold Cahoon's article called "Women in Gutter Journalism."

I wanted to read the article for myself.  
Here it is for you too!

Early Women Newspaper Reporters

You may not know, but I am also a writer. Recently I have become fascinated with newspapers from the turn of the century (the Century before this one. :-)

This is a fantastic article called Sob Sisters: The Image of the Female Journalist in Popular Cultures by Joe Saltzman, Director, Image of the Journalist in Popular Cultures (IJPC). As you read the article you will learn that Sob Sisters refers to women reporters.  They were usually given the stories that would make you sob.

Read for yourself and enjoy!
