Having glanced at woman’s part in world’s literature, a few words should
be said about women journalists. During the middle of the last century
the publishers of several leading newspapers of England and America,
desiring to infuse new life into their papers, added a number of women
to their staffs. The complete success of this experiment was confirmed
by the rapid increase in the number of such women journalists. Whereas
in 1845 England had only 15 of them, this number grew to more than 800
in 1891. In the United States the number increased from 350 in 1889 to
2193 in 1910. Many of these women journalists received careful training
in the special schools of journalism at the universities of New York,
Philadelphia, and elsewhere.
