The Women of Grub Street

The Women of Grub Street examines women's political activity not only as authors, but also as printers, booksellers, ballad-singers, hawkers, and others. Providing a wealth of new information about middling and lower-class women's political and literary lives, this book will be of interest to readers of literature, social and publishing history, women's studies and feminism, and the history of democracy and public discourse.
