It salvages from pre-Victorian periodicals from the limbo of forgotten publications, and exhumes from long undisturbed sources a curious collection of women who, at a time when it was considered humiliating for a gentlewoman to earn money, contrived to support themselves by writing, editing, or publishing... sometimes even supporting husbands and children as well...\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe women who emerge make a motley gallery; but over the years that I have been getting to know them, they have won my respectful affection.
