The St. Nicholas Magazine is conducted by a lady.
Since her husband's death, Mrs. Frank Leslie has carried on, under her own management, the numerous magazines which issue from the house founded by that gentleman.
The largest newspapers, and all the principal Reviews, have ladies on their staffs.
Miss Mary Louise Booth, who directs the Harper's Bazaar, receives a salary of eight thousand dollars.
The two editors of The Critic are Miss Jeannette Gilder and Mr. Joseph Gilder, sister and brother of Richard Watson Gilder, poet and chief editor of the Century Magazine, who himself has for colleagues Mr. Buel and a talented lady.
I might name many more.
The education of the women being, in America, very much the same as that of the men, ladies naturally may aspire to many employments which, in Europe, are looked upon as being the monopoly of man.
