ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the experiences and writings of Pennell, who published extensively as the art critic for a London daily, the Star, and as the art correspondent for the American periodical, the Nation. The term New Woman was coined in 1894 by novelist Sarah Grand, and Sydney Grundy's play The New Woman dramatized the dangers of independent, smoking and latchkey-toting women. Women journalists were included in the New Woman stereotype frequently considered in Punch. However, not all of the press represented the New Woman as dangerous: periodicals like the Woman's Signal and Shafts regularly featured articles about advanced women. A contrast in transatlantic perspectives on Advanced Women is exemplified in the periodical press: where the English press portrayed the New Woman as threatening, the American popular press, by comparison, regarded her with humour. In addition to being a journalist and cyclist, Pennell's private lifestyle reflected other facets of New Womanhood.
