Shaping Visions in U.S.-American Magazines : Women Illustrators and the Visual Culture of Femininity, 1890–1920

Abstract

This book presents the first comprehensive study on U.S.-American female illustrators’ creative imaginations of femininity, 1890-1920. It offers insight into the multi-faceted visual-textual relations across mass and little magazines. Four case studies encompass analyses from magazine front and back covers, illustrated advertisements and advice columns, to illustrated suffragist serials, including magazine illustrations never studied before.
