New Journal: Women's Writing Women's Writing is an international journal focusing on women's writing up to the end of the long nineteenth century. The Editors welcome theoretical and historical perspectives, and contributions that are concerned with gender, culture, race and class. The aim of the journal is to open up a forum for dialogue, discussion and debate about the work of women writers, and hopes to reflect the diversity of scholarship that can be brought to bear on this area of study.

We are happy to announce a new e-journal, THE LATCHKEY: A Journal of New Woman Studies. We are affiliated with the group of e-journals hosted by http://www.oscholars.com, a website dedicated to interdisciplinary fin de siècle studies and particularly to Oscar Wilde's work and circle. Our publisher is The Rivendale Press (UK). Please take a look at our first issue at http://oscholars.com/Latchkey/Latchkey1/Homepage/Homepage%20-%20Latchkey.html We start with a very modest beginning and soon hope to expand the into a peer-reviewed journal for the rapidly expanding field of New Woman studies. We are happy to accept notices for calls of papers as well as book reviews immediately, and are also very interested in adding to our informal "Teaching Resources" and "Who's Who" sections. A call for peer-reviewed papers will follow in a few months--stay tuned. If you would like to keep informed of our progress and join our mailing list, please send an email to oscholars@gmail.com with"'LATCHING ON" (minus the quotation marks) as the subject line.
