History of women periodicals

This
set includes many 19th century U.S. womenÕs magazines. This is the only access we have to most
of these periodicals! For a list
of periodicals included in this set, consult the guide (listed below), or
search OBIS for Òhistory of women periodicalsÓ Ð then limit to the English
language. Unfortunately there is
no separate indexing for these journals, so ÒbrowsingÓ them on microfilm is the
way to find out whatÕs there.
