Research Overview
I work on Victorian literature and culture, with a particular focus on the developments in professional authorship, women's writing, journalism and the periodical press, newspaper and magazine culture, feminist writing, and imperial print networks. My upcoming monograph, Model Women of the Press: Gender, Politics, and Women's Professional Journalism (Routledge, New York), offers the first extended account of the mid-century rise of ‘model women of the press': women who not only stormed the male bastions of social and political journalism but also presented themselves as upholders of the highest standards of professional journalistic practice. From Victorian feminists to female mainstream political journalists, from female foreign and war correspondence to even fictional presswomen, all contributed in distinctive ways to the rise of the Victorian female journalist as a serious, high-minded, and professional author. A new project on imperial periodicals was awarded a Curran Fellowship by the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals (RSVP) My articles on Victorian women's foreign correspondence, feminist journalism, and celebrity culture have appeared in Victorian Periodicals Review, Women's Writing and Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies. A book chapter on the campaign for Victorian women's entry into medicine was published in Women, Periodicals and Print Culture in Britain, 1830s-1900s (Edinburgh University Press) and another chapter on mid-century feminist fiction is forthcoming in the Routledge Companion to Literature and Feminism.
