Women in the Book Trade: Three Women Publishers of the Nineteenth & Twentieth Centuries (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book profiles three women publishers at three women's presses: Emily Faithfull at the Victoria Press in the nineteenth century, and Lilian Mohin at Onlywomen Press and Sue Butterworth at Silver Moon Books in the twentieth century. The contribution of these women to their respective women's movements, their experience in the book trade and their stories as publishers of books for women are to be admired. Annie Southern has produced this slim volume in order to keep knowledge of their contributions alive in the twenty-first century by putting information into the public domain that is not already there or not readily accessible. An easy-read, this book brings to life the eras in which these women were working and gives a sense of the barriers they faced in order to bring both feminist works and women's fiction to female readers. For the reader interested in printing by women as well as publishing by women this book provides an account of those experiences also.
