Sharp feathers and hairpins: 7 portraits of prominent 19th-century journalists from Europe, Russia and America

Stories

The progressive 19th century marked the beginning of women’s struggle for their rights, which in many ways started with the publications of the first female journalists on the pages of European and American newspapers. In Russia, the first female journalists also appeared at this time, although they mainly focused on the children’s audience and literary creativity. For World Women’s Day, “Around the World” remembers seven significant journalists of the 19th century.

Margaret Fuller

“Humanity is divided into men, women and Margaret Fuller,” Edgar Allan Poe, who had an uneasy relationship with her, once said. A much more flattering description of her was given by the poet and transcendental philosopher Ralph Emerson: “The greatest woman from ancient times to the present day.”

In the 1840s, Margaret Fuller had a reputation as the most well-read person in New England

Margaret Fuller was truly an extraordinary person who was ahead of her time and stood at the origins of feminism in the United States. She was born in May 1810 in Massachusetts, from which her father was elected to the US Congress a few years later. He also instilled in his daughter a love of reading and made sure that Margaret received a classical home education, which included acquaintance with the works of ancient philosophers.

She then continued her studies at several institutions, and at the age of 16 she returned to her father’s house, where she independently took up the study of foreign languages. “I felt that I was not born for the ordinary female lot,” she wrote at the time.

Margaret gave private lessons and began writing for periodicals in the 1830s, beginning with literary criticism. The death of his father from cholera in 1835 seriously affected the 25-year-old girl – Timothy Fuller did not leave a will, so his brothers, and not the widow and children, inherited his estate and property. Margaret had to abandon plans to travel to Europe, where she was going to work on a biography of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – in 1836 she began working as a school teacher to provide for her family.

Three years later, Fuller and her family moved to the Boston area. There she began to hold “talks” – meetings for women, at which history, art and natural sciences, as well as other pressing issues, were discussed. The “conversations” that Fuller led from 1839 to 1844 replaced the education of the participants, many of whom later became prominent figures in the women’s rights movement.

In the same year, 1839, Ralph Emerson, mentioned above, invited Margaret Fuller to become the editor of the newly created magazine The Dial, , which brought together members of the Transcendental Club, in which Fuller was one of the main members of . She began work in 1840, but left the post two years later without receiving the promised money, although she continued to write for the magazine as an author.

In 1844, Fuller got a job in a large newspaper New York Tribune, where she became a book reviewer. In four years she wrote over 250 articles on literature, art and music for the publication. Part of her writings was devoted to social problems and politics. In 1845 she published an expanded version of her text in The Dial is about men and women. The book “Woman in the 19th century”, in which Fuller wrote about the importance of equal rights for men and women and how to achieve it for the common good. This book is now considered the bible of American feminism.

having first visited England, where her sensational book was published without the knowledge of author, and then France and Italy. On this journey, she managed to get acquainted with George Sand, Adam Mickiewicz and other prominent figures.

In England she met the Marquis Giovanni Ossoli, with whom Fuller began an affair. In 1847, the couple moved to Florence, and a year later they had a son. Biographers are still arguing when Ossoli and Fuller got married and whether it happened at all.

In 1849, a revolution broke out in the Papal States and the Roman Republic was proclaimed, and Fuller and her husband were at the center of events unfolding in Rome. Ossoli went to fight the French troops called in by the Pope to put down the uprising, and Margaret became a nurse. The revolutionaries were defeated, but Ossoli and Fuller were able to leave Rome. They left for Florence, and in 1850 they decided to go to the USA.

Margaret Fuller was preparing a book about the short and sad history of the failed Roman Republic, which she considered her most important work. She took the draft manuscript with her on board the Elizabeth, a ship bound for New York. The flight, alas, was tragic. First, the captain of the Elizabeth died of smallpox, and on July 19, 1850, an inexperienced assistant who took his place ran the ship aground off the coast of New York during a storm.

It was not far from the shore – passengers who knew how to swim and even the newly-made captain jumped overboard. Margaret Fuller and her husband, unfortunately, could not swim and remained on deck. The wave that covered the dying “Elizabeth” carried them to the open sea along with their 22-month-old son. The bodies of his parents and the treasured manuscript of Fuller were never found.

Eliza Lynn Linton

Eliza Lynn was born in the British county of Cumbria in February 1822. She was the 12th and last child in the family, and her mother died when Eliza was less than six months old. As a child, she was left to herself, including in the matter of education. In her early years, she began to write poetry.

In 1845, Eliza came to London, where she took up writing under the auspices of the writer William Ainsworth and the poet Walter Landor. However, her first works were not very successful. In 1849In 1998, the girl got a job in the newspaper The Morning Chronicle, becoming the first paid full-time journalist in the history of Great Britain.

— So you are the same little girl who wrote one wonderful book, and now wants to become a pen shark? – asked Eliza when meeting the editor of the newspaper John Cook.

“Yes, and I am a woman,” she replied. After a short conversation, Cook took her to work.

Lynn worked at The Morning Chronicle for two years, during which time she wrote articles on a wide range of topics and also did book reviews. Journalistic work brought a good income, but in 1851 Eliza left the newspaper after a falling out with the editor. Subsequently, she still collaborated with Cook, but their friendship came to an end. In the same year, her novel Reality was published, exposing Victorian society and its attitude towards women. The book shocked the public and critics, and Eliza was accused of immorality.

Ms. Lynn then worked as a correspondent for various publications in Italy and France. In particular, she wrote for the newspaper The Leader and the magazine Home Reading, which was edited by Charles Dickens. In 1858, she married the famous illustrator and publicist William Linton, who had seven young children from a previous marriage. Perhaps Eliza agreed to marry this widower out of altruism and also to test her theories about parenting.

Marriage did not bring happiness to Eliza – she and Linton separated after a few years, having lived for some time first in Linton’s dilapidated house in Cumbria, and then in London. In 1867, the couple officially filed for divorce, and Linton moved to the United States with the children.

During and after her marriage, Eliza continued to write novels and articles for periodicals. It is noteworthy that she was distinguished by conservative views and no longer shared the ideas of feminism that was emerging in those years. In particular, in one of the essays, she attacked girls who use cosmetics and dare to flirt with men. At 189In 1999, Lynn Linton wrote that she considered politics to be a purely masculine affair.

Eliza Lynn Linton died of pneumonia in London in July 1898. Critics and researchers to this day study her controversial literary legacy.

Jane Swisshelm

Jane Gray Cannon was born in December 1815 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Fate prepared for her the role of one of the first journalists in US history, actively fighting for the abolition of slavery and women’s rights.

Jane grew up in a religious Scotch-Irish immigrant family, where she was kept strictly. She lost her father in 1823, and soon her mother adapted her to paint velvet and weave lace. Then the girl was able to get some education, and in 1836 Jane married James Swisshelm, who in 1838 took her to Louisville (Kentucky), where he was going to start a business with his brother. It was then that Jane saw with her own eyes how slaves were being exploited. Their unenviable fate made an indelible impression on the girl. She soon went to Pittsburgh against her husband’s wishes to care for her ailing mother, and after her death, Jane attended a female seminary for two years. Then she returned to her husband, who by that time had settled on a farm in the vicinity of Pittsburgh.

In the 1840s, Jane began publishing articles in local newspapers strongly against slavery and the death penalty. The unwillingness of the editors to publish her writings prompted Jane Swisshelm to found her own newspaper with money bequeathed to her by her mother. A publication called Pittsburgh Saturday Visiter appeared in 1847 and lasted 7 years. In her columns for this newspaper, which were reprinted by other American publications, Jane, among other things, supported the right of married women to own property.

In April 1850, as a reporter for the New York Tribune , Swisshelm became the first female journalist to be admitted to the US Senate. That day was marked by a loud scandal: one of the senators took out a revolver to cool the ardor of a colleague who had thrown himself at him. Swisshelm’s report on this event was extremely colorful.

By 1857, Jane had lost her job in Washington, given birth to a daughter, left journalism for a while to care for her child, returned to the profession and divorced her husband. She then moved with her daughter to St. Cloud, Minnesota, where she founded the newspaper The Saint Cloud Visitor . She continued to ardently oppose slavery, for which she suffered – once the editorial office of the newspaper was destroyed, and the printing press of the publication was thrown into the river.

Behind this attack was local politician Sylvan Lowry, whom Swisshelm repeatedly accused of oppressing the Winnebago Indians, slavery and other abuses. With the support of friends, the brave journalist purchased a new printing press and began publishing the newspaper The Saint Cloud Democrat . The main theme of this newspaper was the protection of women’s rights.

With the outbreak of the American Civil War, Swisshelm began to travel to major cities in the United States. In Washington, an old acquaintance got her a job as a clerk at the headquarters of the Quartermaster General of the army of the northerners. In parallel, the journalist worked in the hospital. In 1864, she managed to organize the care of 182 seriously wounded soldiers at the Fredericksburg Hospital (Virginia). After the end of the war, Swisshelm founded the The Reconstructionist newspaper, which criticized President Andrew Johnson, which caused her to lose her civil service job. In 1866, the journalist, left without a livelihood, returned to Pittsburgh.

For the rest of her life, Swisshelm did not engage in publishing, but continued to write for various American newspapers. The celebrated journalist died in July 1884. One of the districts of Pittsburgh is named in her honor.

Lady Florence Dixie

Florence Caroline Dixie, born in 1855 in the family of the Scottish Marquis of Queensberry Archibald Douglas, from childhood did not want to live up to the title of lady – the girl was a real tomboy, swam in a race with her brothers, was fond of hunting and horseback riding.

Florence Douglas cut her hair like a boy, refused to wear formal Victorian dresses, and loved to travel. Her childhood was marred by the death of her father when Florence was three years old, the difficult nature of her mother, and her dislike of the Catholic school. Already at a young age, Florence became interested in poetry.

In 1875, the girl married Baronet Dixie Alexander Churchill. He was a large man who shared his wife’s passion for adventure and travel, but suffered from an addiction to alcohol, cards and games at the races. Contemporaries noted that it was the fragile Florence who was the head of this family, and her husband obeyed her steel grip. But the baronet eventually lowered his fortune.

The couple traveled a lot around the world, and within a few years Florence managed to become famous in the literary field: she wrote several books for children and adults, including stories about her trip to Patagonia, from where a brave lady brought a live jaguar.

In 1881, Dixie became a correspondent for the London newspaper The Morning Post and traveled with her husband to South Africa, where she reported on the First Boer War, as well as life in the Cape Colony and the Zulu Country. In particular, the journalist interviewed the Zulu leader Ketchwayo, who was captured by the British. One of her reports on the plight of the Zulus was called “In the Land of Misfortune”. Later, she wrote articles in which she supported many liberal ideas.

Dixie believed that women and men should have equal rights in the family. In 1890, the journalist published the feminist utopian novel Gloriana, or the Revolution of 1900. In the foreword, Dixie spoke of the need to empower women and give them access to jobs and education.

According to the plot, the main character of the novel, Gloriana, is elected to the House of Commons under the guise of a man, and then gradually leads Britain to matriarchy. The book ends with a description of prosperous life in Great Britain at the end of the 20th century.

Lady Florence Dixie died in November 1905. She was buried in the family estate in Scotland.

Natalya Shalikova

“I read Narskaya’s story in the 6th issue of Sovremennik—and I was very pleased. The first female, fresh voice in our literature. <...> And don’t you know who this Narskaya is, and where she lives? – Ivan Turgenev wrote in July 1855 criticizing Vasily Botkin. Under this pseudonym, Princess Natalya Petrovna Shalikova, born in 1815, who is considered to be one of the first Russian journalists, published her story “The First Acquaintance with the Light”.

Petr Shalikov is the father of our heroine. There are no known images of the princess herself. The younger sister of Princess Sophia was married to the publisher Mikhail Katkov.

Natalya Shalikova began to study literature in the 1840s, taking up translations of French short stories, and a few years later she made her debut as an author in Sovremennik, earning praise not only from Turgenev, but also from critics: Nikolai Dobrolyubov and Botkin mentioned above. After the founding of the Russky Vestnik magazine by Katkov in 1856, Shalikova began to actively cooperate with this conservative publication.

In 1858 she published Free Choice, a story about a young girl who finds herself in high society. Claudia Furzheeva, the main character of The Choice, had a lively curiosity and noble outlook on life. Shalikova wrote about the strength of a woman’s character, about the need for equal education, about purity of heart, and encouraged her to be sincere in her feelings.

In 1865, in Wiesbaden, Germany, the princess met Fyodor Dostoyevsky, an aspiring novelist. Some literary scholars suggest that it was Shalikova who proposed sending the novel Crime and Punishment to Russkiy Vestnik. With the publication of the novel in 1866, Dostoevsky began a long-term collaboration with Katkov.

Natalia Shalikova did not stop writing until her death in 1878. She had to fight for the publication of her stories – some of her manuscripts lay in the editors for years. But the princess did not give up: she collaborated with various magazines, for which she wrote, among other things, travel essays from Russia and other countries she visited.

Maria Rostovskaya

Maria Lvova was born in 1814 in St. Petersburg. She came from a well-known “musical and literary” family: her father, Fyodor Lvov, wrote poetry and prose, and studied musicology. Maria’s brother, violinist and composer Alexei Lvov, is known as the author of the music for the hymn “God Save the Tsar!”. And Maria’s godfather was Gavriil Derzhavin himself, whose wife the girl was a great-niece. Subsequently, Maria wrote an essay about the Derzhavins.

Maria took up journalism and literature rather late. She was educated at home, and in 1843 she became a maid of honor to Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, the wife of Nicholas I. Two years later, Lvova married retired staff captain Alexander Rostovsky. For her, this was the second marriage – almost nothing is known about Lvova’s short first marriage, which ended in divorce.

After moving to her husband’s estate, Maria Rostovskaya became interested in writing. In 1852, her children’s story, The Adventures of Pony the Ems Donkey, was published, which was well received by critics and the public. In the same year, Rostovskaya wrote a biographical essay about Karl Bryullov on the occasion of the death of the famous painter.

Since 1860, Rostovskaya’s works have been published in the children’s and youth magazine “Snowdrop”, which was published by the writer and journalist Vladimir Maikov, the brother of the poet Apollon Maikov. During its short existence, The Snowdrop served as the main source of intellectual reading for a children’s audience. The journal published works by Nikolai Nekrasov, Dmitry Grigorovich, Ivan Goncharov and translations of works by foreign authors: Andersen, Hoffmann, the Grimm brothers, etc. Rostovskaya, on the other hand, became one of the employees of the editorial office of the Snowdrop and worked in it until the magazine was closed in 1862.

six years old . The publication was patronized by the young Empress Maria Alexandrovna, wife of Alexander II. So, the magazine was distributed to women’s gymnasiums, which were supervised by the royal family.

The magazine published novels and stories for children of different ages, as well as educational publications about history, travel, and the natural sciences. There were even sections with literary criticism and “news” about various discoveries and inventions. The publisher published on the pages of “Evenings” stories about love for the motherland and essays on national history. In particular, Rostovskaya told about the life of Empress Catherine II, commander Alexander Suvorov and fabulist Ivan Khemnitser. She sometimes touched on social and political topics.

Critics sometimes accused Rostovskaya of elitism and the absence of conflicts in her writings, but recognized her command of the purest Russian language and colorful visual means.

At the end of the 1860s, Rostovskaya began to write the story “Peasant School”. She collected material for it on the estate of her sister Nadezhda Samsonova, who, together with her husband, founded an elementary school for peasant children in the village of Bektyshevo. Maria Fedorovna came to the estate more than once to see how peasant children were studying. The story was first published in the Rostovskaya magazine, and then repeatedly reprinted until 1917 years old. The images of inquisitive peasant children created by Rostovskaya were praised for their liveliness and believability.

Maria Fedorovna died in June 1872 in St. Petersburg. “The works of Rostovskaya are written with talent and skill and were read by children
with particular interest. Its direction was always strictly moral and patriotic,” read an obituary in the Grazhdanin newspaper.

Minna Kant

Minna Kant, became famous for social journalism, literature and women’s rights. It rightfully occupies an honorable place in the history of Finland.

Born Ulrika Wilhelmina Jonsson was born in 1844 in Tampere. In 1863, she entered the new seminary for elementary school teachers in Jyväskylä, but did not complete her education – in 1865, Ulrika married her natural science teacher, Johan Ferdinand Kant. In this marriage, which ended in 1879In the year after Johan’s death, seven children were born. In 1880, the widow and children moved to Kuopio, taking over the management of the thread and yarn business inherited from her father. In this she was quite successful – the business brought a stable income.

The burden of a housewife with many children did not prevent Minna Kant from pursuing journalism and then writing. In the 1870s, she wrote for the newspaper Keski-Suomi, in which her husband worked as an editor, and then Minna collaborated with various publications, becoming the first independent journalist in the history of Finland. In total, she wrote about 70 articles in which she spoke loudly about the rights of women, denounced social vices with irony and vehemence, and actively defended the rights of the oppressed. In 1889–1890 Kant was the publisher of the Free Ideas magazine, for which she selected and translated publications from foreign publications in order to acquaint readers with the current European social agenda.

In parallel, Minna Kant created works of art: her stories and plays also deal with social inequality and the difficult life of a woman in a traditional patriarchal family.

The work of Minna Kanna was often criticized by his contemporaries, but history has put everything in its place. Her house in Kuopio became a place of attraction for young writers, artists and intellectuals – debates, public readings were held here, ideas for future works were born. Mrs. Kant died in 1897 year.

“Kant’s position in life is something we all can and should learn. She believed that you need to stand behind your convictions and do what you believe in and the rightness of which your heart does not doubt, despite the fact that the world around you says otherwise,” says Minna Ryutisalo, author of the book dedicated to Kant “Mistress K” .

On 19 March, the writer’s birthday, Finland celebrates Equality Day, also known as Minna Kant’s Day.

But two years later the situation improved. Now he can not only experiment, but also create his own things. The other day he just presented a collaboration with adidas. This season, he released new versions of the Samba model, as well as a collection of clothes (wide shorts and down jackets were our favorites). Judging by the work done, bright colors returned to the life of the actor: emerald, red, scarlet. But this does not mean that he traded catchy shades for a directorial career. On the contrary, he is now preparing a project about psychotherapy specifically for Netflix.

We spoke with Jonah Hill about learning to experiment and trust yourself and your sense of style.

We learned about your collaboration with adidas in January of this year. But after that, as you remember, not the easiest period awaited us. How long have you been thinking about a joint project?

Jonah Hill: Winter will be two years since I started working with adidas. Only in the fall of 2019 I was offered to create my own collection. Before that, I thought I would launch a personal clothing brand.

Wow, really?

Yes, I was offered a partnership just at the moment when I was thinking about the first collection. I am a longtime adidas fan. So I was just happy to learn from the geniuses and collaborate with the brand. How can you turn down the opportunity to learn new skills and create things that your fans will wear?

I can imagine how serious the offer was if you refused your own project.

Yes, but I was allowed to do what I liked. In fact, our collaboration with adidas is the result of my debut collection, which I designed back in 2018.

How did it all start? What inspired you?

Well, the first joint project was an updated version of Superstar, which turned 50 this year. I was told that I should start with this release. Of course, I love this pair, but still it’s not my main favorite. I immediately said that doing something basic is not so easy.
