Bookwomen: Creating an Empire in Children’s Book Publishing, 1919–1939 de Jacalyn Eddy

Bookwomen: Creating an Empire in Children’s Book Publishing, 1919–1939: Print Culture History in Modern America

Autor Jacalyn Eddy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 aug 2006
The most comprehensive account of the women who, as librarians, editors, and founders of the Horn Book, shaped the modern children's book industry between 1919 and 1939. The lives of Anne Carroll Moore, Alice Jordan, Louise Seaman Bechtel, May Massee, Bertha Mahony Miller, and Elinor Whitney Field open up for readers the world of female professionalization. What emerges is a vivid illustration of some of the cultural debates of the time, including concerns about "good reading" for children and about women's negotiations between domesticity and participation in the paid labor force and the costs and payoffs of professional life.

Published in collaboration among the University of Wisconsin Press, the Center for the History of Print Culture in Modern America (a joint program of the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Wisconsin Historical Society), and the University of Wisconsin–Madison General Library System Office of Scholarly Communication.

Recenzii

"In selecting six leaders to represent various support pillars for the community of book-women, Eddy has shown them to be not only superstars in a newly competitive field but also net-workers determined to carry out a mission requiring intense collaboration. The costs and payoffs of these women's work—both for them and for us—make dynamic reading."—Betsy Hearne, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
“Eddy’s groundbreaking work explores a topic that has had little attention in the scholarly press to date.”—Melanie A. Kimball, SHARP News
