In On Wisconsin Women, Genevieve McBride traces women's work in reform movements in the state's politics and especially in its press. Even before Wisconsin became a state in 1848, women's news and opinions appeared in abolitionist journals and "temperance sheets," if often anonymously. But the first paper in Wisconsin published under a woman's name, however, was boycotted by Milwaukee printers and failed in 1853.
