Reviews
"Ambitious and provocative. . . For historians, Lutes's well-written, acutely observed book provides a theoretically sophisticated provocation to further study."--Patricia A. Schechter, American Historical Review, October 2007, "Lutes puts her academic expertise and knowledge of the newspaper profession--she's a former staff writer for the Miami Herald"To superb use in this fascinating, clearly enunciated examination of the historical and cultural role of the American woman journalist during the decades bridging the 19th and 20th centuries. . . . Lutes reclaims the female reporter's pioneering and transformative position, first historically (e.g., Nellie Bly's exposing social ills; Ida B. Wells's fight against lynching), then as conjured in fiction by Henry James and such former newspaper women as Willa Cather and Edna Ferber. . . . Especially in consideration of today's body-conscious media culture--whether in front of, behind, or via hidden camera--Lutes's work is a revelation."--Library Journal, 15 December 2006, In the sensational press of a century or more ago, women did not rise by quietly doing their chores. The way to get ahead was to make oneself the story, often by assuming an undercover role and emerging to report the dangers, bodily and otherwise, that one had faced.... Jean Marie Lutes, once a reporter herself, finds scholarly diversion in reconsidering the roles sex and body played in the work of the stunt girls and the sob sisters. She also contemplates such fictional journalists as Henry James's Henrietta Stackpole, who became James's symbol of the evils of the popular press., Front-Page Girls is a splendid addition to the literature of journalism and literary history from the perspective of women's studies. This seminal work provides a much-needed examination of the careers of American women journalists in fact and fiction from 1880 to 1930 by merging literary and journalism history. It points out that women journalists, long trivialized as stunt girls and sob sisters, played important roles in a mass-produced commodity culture that marketed their own femininity along with their news stories. Studying the intersections of race, class, and gender in depicting women journalists, Lutes makes a convincing case that they have not been given the attention they deserve from scholars who have overlooked their significance as symbols of contested womanhood. She tells a compelling tale of women who personified both authorship and spectacle as they entered a new world of publicity and power dominated by images of their bodies as emblems of women's place in a modern America., "Front-Page Girls is conspicuously well written. The prose is clear, vivid, and sophisticated while sustaining a high degree of complexity in the analysis. The cultural history Lutes presents is compelling and important. She is an exceptionally skillful critic and interpreter and is able to combine close readings of textual passages with persuasive arguments about the cultural significance of women in journalism."-Nancy Bentley, University of Pennsylvania, "Front-Page Girls is a splendid addition to the literature of journalism and literary history from the perspective of women's studies.

The history begins with tales of the girl student reporters who would feign madness to report from the inside of a New York City asylum or spend days in cigarette factories following young girls forced to work under sweatshop conditions."--Bust, April/May 2007, Ambitious and provocative.... For historians, Lutes's well-written, acutely observed book provides a theoretically sophisticated provocation to further study., Jean Marie Lutes challenges accounts linking the developing standard of journalistic objectivity to the emergence of realist fiction, both of which were seen as male domains. In so doing she adds a new aspect to the story: how women journalists--both white and African American--contributed to journalism and to literary culture., "Front-Page Girls is a splendid addition to the literature of journalism and literary history from the perspective of women's studies.

Synopsis
The first study of the role of the newspaperwoman in American literary culture at the turn of the twentieth century, this book recaptures the imaginative exchange between real-life reporters like Nellie Bly and Ida B. Wells and fictional characters like Henrietta Stackpole, the lady-correspondent in Henry James's Portrait of a Lady . It chronicles the exploits of a neglected group of American women writers and uncovers an alternative reporter-novelist tradition that runs counter to the more familiar story of gritty realism generated in male-dominated newsrooms. Taking up actual newspaper accounts written by women, fictional portrayals of female journalists, and the work of reporters-turned-novelists such as Willa Cather and Djuna Barnes, Jean Marie Lutes finds in women's journalism a rich and complex source for modern American fiction. Female journalists, cast as both standard-bearers and scapegoats of an emergent mass culture, created fictions of themselves that far outlasted the fleeting news value of the stories they covered. Front-Page Girls revives the spectacular stories of now-forgotten newspaperwomen who were not afraid of becoming the news themselves?the defiant few who wrote for the city desks of mainstream newspapers and resisted the growing demand to fill women's columns with fashion news and household hints. It also examines, for the first time, how women's journalism shaped the path from news to novels for women writers., The first study of the role of the newspaperwoman in American literary culture at the turn of the twentieth century, this book recaptures the imaginative exchange between real-life reporters like Nellie Bly and Ida B.
