Project description
 

This project examines a neglected aspect of the social and cultural life in Europe in the modern period: the impact of women editors on public debate. From the 1700s on, European women actively participated in the cultural arena through the journals that they edited. This project advances  the hypothesis that periodical editorship enabled these  women to take a prominent role in public life, to influence public opinion and to shape transnational processes of change
