""Memories of Jane Cunningham Croly, Jenny June"" is a collection of personal essays and anecdotes written by various authors about the life and legacy of Jane Cunningham Croly, a pioneering journalist and women's rights advocate who wrote under the pen name ""Jenny June."" The book provides a comprehensive portrait of Croly's life, from her early years as a writer and editor in New York City to her later work as a lecturer and organizer of women's clubs and societies. The essays explore Croly's impact on the women's movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as her contributions to the fields of journalism and literature. The book also includes photographs and illustrations of Croly and her contemporaries, as well as excerpts from her own writings. Overall, ""Memories of Jane Cunningham Croly, Jenny June"" offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who helped pave the way for future generations of women in journalism and beyond.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.
