The Women’s Periodicals of the Nineteenth Century, 1866-1891 collection represents one of three collections containing women’s-related periodicals. These titles span the later part of the nineteenth century and represent a broad range of subjects and places of publication, from religious and cultural periodicals from the South to domestic and parenting magazines from the North. Taken together, they allow scholars to focus on how women in particular struggled to recover from the Civil War during the years of Reconstruction. A few representative titles include Harper’s Bazaar, the Southern Review, and Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Hearth and Home. The Agitator, the True Woman, and the Woman’s Advocate are a few examples of the women’s political magazines that can also be found here.
