Memories of Jane Cunningham Croly, Jenny June is a collection of essays and personal recollections about the life and legacy of Jane Cunningham Croly, a pioneering journalist and women's rights advocate in the 19th century. Croly, who wrote under the pen name Jenny June, was the founder of the Sorosis Club, the first professional women's club in the United States, and a leading voice in the fight for women's suffrage and equality. The book includes contributions from various writers, historians, and friends of Croly, who share their memories and reflections on her life, work, and impact on American society. Through their stories, readers gain insight into the challenges and triumphs of a remarkable woman who paved the way for generations of women to come.Jane Cunningham Croly left upon the last century an ineffaceable record. For industrious and successful work in journalism she probably had no peer. In a speech before the Woman's Press Club not long since, she said: When a woman has written enough to fill a room, she feels like burning it instead of preserving it in scrap-books. Probably no woman of her day and generation has done more or better work than our Jenny June. No woman had more diversity of gifts; she was equally at home in the editorial chair, or the reportorial office; as a speaker she excelled.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
