While this period witnessed the birth of modern periodical culture and its ability to shape aspects of society from the popular to the political, most studies have traditionally obscured the very active role women's voices and women readers played in shaping periodicals that in turn shaped Britain. The 30 essays here demonstrate the importance of periodicals to women and vice versa and, crucially, correct the destructive misconception that the more canonised periodicals and popular magazines were rival or discontinuous forms.
