We are interested in articles on U.S. women periodical editors, 18th -20th century, that go beyond biography.

Essays might consider the political programs of editors; the relationship of editing to writing and other tasks; the collaborative nature of editing; the power or lack of power of the editing role; the visibility or invisibility of the editor and her work; women's editing for female or male readers; the editor's relationship to herreaders, and much else.
