We are interested in articles on U.S. women periodical editors, 18th -20th century, that go beyond biography. We also welcome papers about organizations of women in the profession, connections between publications, and editors who worked on more than one publication. Essays should be a maximum of 7500 words, including endnotes and Works Cited. The deadline for submissions is August 1, 2001. Documents which could prove relevant to the goals of literary recovery promoted by this project will also be considered.
Projects recovering Hispanic women's voices are especially welcome.
