"In this well-illustrated, well-documented study of nineteenth-century print culture, Alexis Easley demonstrates how popular publications created celebrity for women editors and authors, and shows how scrapbooking fads worked as an extension of new media opportunities for the expression of women's values and sentiments.-- ""Kathryn Ledbetter, Texas State University"" There is much to admire in Easley's well-researched study: there are moments of quiet revelation that might be showier in the work of other scholars.--Caroline Sumpter ""English Studies"""
