This title was first published in 2001. Florence Fenwick Miller (1854-1936) was a Victorian activist and achiever in the cause of women from her earliest days. Until now, there has been no biography of her career. The daughter of a merchant marine captain and an excitable, angry-minded mother (with whom she clashed repeatedly), Florence progressed from an unhappy girlhood to a frustrated adolescence. Some of her later triumphs include pioneering work on the "Illustrated London News", which she used as a sounding board for women's issues; her travel to and reporting of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair; her participation in the 1899 meetings of the International Council of Women in London; and her efforts as editor of the "Woman's Signal" (1895-98) which brought influence to bear on the questions of women's education and women's franchise. This book is based partially on a newly discovered Fenwick Miller autobiography, "An Uncommon Girlhood", a record of the first 25 years of her life.
