This volume uncovers the ideas concerning everyday life circulating in
the burgeoning feminist periodical culture of Britain in the early
twentieth century. Barbara Green explores the ways in which the
feminist press used its correspondence columns, women’s pages,
fashion columns and short fictions to display the quiet hum of
everyday life that provided the backdrop to the more dramatic events
of feminist activism such as street marches or protests. Positioning
itself at the interface of periodical studies and everyday life
studies, Feminist Periodicals and Daily Life illuminates the more
elusive aspects of the periodical archive through a study of those
periodical forms that are particularly well-suited to conveying the
mundane. Feminist journalists such as Rebecca West, Teresa
Billington-Greig, E. M. Delafield and Emmeline Pethick Lawrence
provided new ways of conceptualizing the significance of domestic life
and imagining new possibilities for daily routines. /p>
