ABSTRACT
The preceding chapters have presented an overview of the journalistic careers of four black women who wrote for newspapers, magazines, and other media during the late nineteenth century. All of the women wrote at the beginning of the twentieth century, and Mary Church Terrell wrote well into the twentieth century. With the goal of lifting the veil of obscurity and placing these women into journalism history, I have looked at the lives of the women, the publications for which they wrote, their audiences, and the themes in their writings within the context of the period in which they lived.
