Women Editing Modernism: Little Magazines & Literary History reveals a pivotal yet often overlooked dimension of early 20th-century literary culture, wherein female editors shaped the trajectory of modernist literature through their stewardship of little magazines. These intimate, avant-garde publications provided crucial platforms for experimental writing and art, allowing women not only to curate content but also to influence literary networks and canon formation during a male-dominated era. By foregrounding voices marginalized by mainstream periodicals, these female editors challenged prevailing norms, fostered innovative aesthetics, and redefined the contours of literary modernism, solidifying their place as architects of literary history.
