Trade Review"Tusan's Women Making News: Gender and Journalism in Modern Britain offers a richly researched analysis that advances women's journalism history beyond fragmentary accounts of individual experience to place the women's advocacy press a center of the cultural and political emergence of the British woman citizen between 1856 and 1930. . . . The book is the most intellectually ambitious and creatice book on women's journalism history that I can remember in the past decade."--JHistory
"[Tusan's] detailed treatment of the journals and a splendid appendix make this book an invaluable tool for researchers in British women's history. Tusan has done a real service to women's historians by writing such a thorough survey of the women's advocacy press. Those wishing to draw on women's periodicals in their research, and those wishing to historicize the journals they are working with already, will find Tusan's book an invaluable reference."--
