Title A name given to the resource "Social News," The Woman's Era, March 24, 1894 Subject The topic of the resource Artists Black Periodicals Citation of Anonymous Source Gossip--Published Journalists/Writers Lewis, Lillian Alberta ( (pseudonym: Bert Islew), 1861-? Rumors Social Events Description An account of the resource Example of the regular column "Social News," edited by Irene DeMortie and Marion Ridley for The Woman's Era. "Published by Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin in Boston, Massachusetts and distributed nationally between 1894 and 1897" (<a href="https://womansera.digitalscholarship.emory.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emory</a>), The Woman's Era was the first national newspaper published by and for Black women. The article is typical for the public reliance on the intimate knowledge of gossip, insofar as it frames some of its reporting with expressions like "we hear ...", "it is whispered," or "it is rumored," while other news are presented as personally known and therefore not in need of further clarification (e. g. "Miss Annie Hemmings is expected home from Vassar ..."). The authors mention, among others, society reporter <a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/970" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lillian A. Lewis</a>, thus highlighting the interest of readers in the personal life of the people who provide public gossip. Towards the end, they turn to the annual convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and cite Ida B Wells on the treatment of women of color at a past convention. Scans and transcriptions of all extant issues of The Woman's Era can be accessed <a href="https://womansera.digitalscholarship.emory.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. In their inaugural greeting, the editors describe their motivation for starting the publication by stating that "the need of such a journal has long been felt as a medium of intercourse and sympathy between the women of all races and conditions" (8). <h3>Credit</h3> <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://womansera.digitalscholarship.emory.edu/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://digitalscholarship.emory.edu/" target="_blank">Emory Center for Digital Scholarship</a> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1894-03-24 Type The nature or genre of the resource Reference Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 0993 black periodicals gossip--published gossip--unpublished
