Lecturing Women in British Fiction, Periodicals and Public Orality, 1870–1910

This book examines the emergence of women as audiences and speakers on the British lecture circuit and in print from 1870-1910. Bringing together research on Victorian lecturing, periodicals, voice studies, and the history of feminism, it sheds new light on the interdependence of orality, print and the rise of the British women's movement.
