Book excerpt: Gender and the Fictions of the Public Sphere, 1690-1755, complicates our understanding of eighteenth-century English print culture by studying the journalistic work of women writers who have long been overlooked by scholars, and by re-interpreting texts by canonical male authors in the period as responses to these early feminist models of cultural authority.
