With the encouragement of her aunt, EG first wrote essays, short tales, and at length a novel. Later, she recalls sending a lively little paper to Blackwood's Magazine under a fictitious name and never getting a reply. The story was later published in Fraser's Magazine, which paid her £3 for it.

This year saw the publication of this lecture (as well as a second edition of it), and of MG 's pamphlet Education of Women, which had originally taken the form of a letter to the Editor of the Times.

TH 's first known writing seems to have been a series of competent but undistinguished accounts for the Dorset Chronicle of church restorations he had worked on in his capacity as an architect. These date from 1856 onwards.Michael Millgate in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography says he was writing poems during 1865-7; Robert Gittings said his earliest known poem was written in memory of and in the voice of his paternal grandmother, who died in 1857. On 18 March 1865 Chambers's Journal printed a humorous sketch TH had written to amuse his architecture-office colleagues, How I Built Myself a House.

MH made a precarious living as a free-lance journalist for many years. As with her novels, she often published under the male pseudonym John Law after 1886. As early as September 1881 she was writing articles about feminist and labour issues for the Nineteenth Century. She edited Toilers of London, a series for the British Weekly, and articles about the government of London for the National Review.

SH says that she began writing poetry in notebooks as a depressed and alienated child. Her first volume of poems includes one she says she wrote at the age of four; this poem rhymes and, because it does not mention sex, was her mother's favourite of the collection.. Nobody in her family knew what it was that she wrote. Her writing remained a secret during her student days. After her marriage and the birth of her children, she joined a writing group. In the bookshop where she worked, she spent her day off typing her poems. She designed them for different places of publication: those she wrote for Cambridge journals she describes as strait-laced, while the ones she sent to the feminist magazine Spare Rib were the ones that spoke of blood or thighs or babies.

In June 1806 Seward wrote to a friend who had just met the young Holford, about Holford's poetry and particularly the beautiful elegy, addressed to me (which may or may not be the above-mentioned ode). Seward thought Holford's talents very considerable. The fire of genius irradiates her compositions; they are not book-made strains. The praises of such a muse do honour to the praised, be they whom they may. The elegy had, without her knowledge, crept into the newspapers, with [Holford's] signature, and dated from Chester. This publication brought to Seward an anonymous letter (whose writer, she said, she could easily guess) decrying the poem as bombast nonsense composed by Seward herself for the purpose of self-advertisement and foisted on the public as the work a non-existent Miss Holford.

At Somerville, Oxford , WH wrote for the college paper, The Fritillary. She wrote, too, the Somerville going-down or end-of-year play for 1920, which she designed to trample down all nasty little giggling feminine inferiority complexes. One of its songs celebrates raucous, unfeminine behaviour.

CEH had established a regular column titled Girl's Gossip under her pen name Madge for the widely-read and politically scandalous British weekly Truth.

Response to the play was divided on party political lines. It was attacked in the pro-Pitt , anti-revolutionary True Briton, which found it too liberal politically, alleging (with no regard to the trustworthiness of the fictional character being quoted) that in several sentences the Democrat displays a cloven hoof. The sentence Provisions are so scarce was held to be particularly inflammatory. The Morning Chronicle replied by contextualising the quotation, and with sarcasm against the journal which could read any compassionate allusion to the distresses of the poor as very good treason by construction. Inchbald replied to the True Briton attack in a periodical called The Diary on the first of February.

This book is made up of discrete pieces published in various books and journals between 1973 and 1976. They include critique of intellectual fathers like Freud and Lacan , analysis of the relationship between language and sexuality, and a call for the creation of a genuine women's language. The opening essay, The Looking Glass, From the Other Side, is an allegorical take on Lewis Carroll 's fantastical children's story. In LI 's version, the two sides of the mirror mimic the two sides of oppositional binaries. Between inside and outside, Alice finds herself confused without the familiar reference points marking the differences between self and other, virgin and whore, wife and lover, friend and no friend. In this moment, the oppositions that govern the limits of properties can be questioned. The characters' romances with one another lead to a constant bartering of the price of infringing on each others' property rights: one man attends a lawyer's office and is promptly told that his crime, having an affair with a strange woman in her house, will cost him four years in prison for breaking and entering, [and] cruelty.Contemporary Literary Criticism points out that the connection between models of semiotic exchange and economic exchange is one of several themes established in this work that inform a good deal of LI 's subsequent writing.

SOJ 's first story, Jenny Garrow's Lovers, was published in the Flag of Our Union.

As a student now enrolled in the medical school in Edinburgh, SJB published a controversial letter to The Lancet under the title Women as Practitioners of Midwifery.

SJ contributed essays to John Hawkesworth 's periodical The Adventurer (whose contributors also included Catherine Talbot , Hester Mulso (later Chapone) , and Jane Warton ).

She and Jo Shapcott read their poems (together with rising starsJay Bernard and Kayo Chingonyi ) at the Royal Shakespeare Company 's redesigned Swan Theatre at Stratford on 3 December 2010. The same month Kay was the headlined item among the Guardian's commissioned Christmas carols, with her rendering of a harrassed housewifely response (by her Maw Broon): I've had it up tae here. / Christmas dinner every year. / It's me that peals [sic] the tatties . . . . Wull I no be back again? / Crivens, mebbe no, ye ken

Before this competition Kennedy had already begun carving out a niche for herself as a writer by reporting for the Cheltenham Ladies College Magazine.

At the age of twenty-five ML published in Fraser's Magazine the anonymous article Convent Boarding-Schools for Young Ladies, an attack on the Catholic system of women's education.

The Gentleman's Magazine published two poems about this volume, one in June 1749 and one in November 1750. One calls the author Britain's Sappho . With the second piece the GM printed two poems by CL : The Art of Coquetry from the volume, and a Birthday Ode to the Princess of Wales. The latter was personally presented to Princess Augusta by Charles Sackville, then Earl of Middlesex (later second Duke of Dorset) , who went on to be the dedicatee of The Female Quixote. This poem was especially popular, re-appearing, for instance, in The New Foundling Hospital for Wit, 1784, and Poems by Eminent Ladies, probably the following year.

AL has had her short fiction read on BBC Radio 4 . Her story Deborah appeared in volume 7 of the British Council 's New Writing, 1998, alongside far more established names. Loose Change appeared in The Independent on Sunday in February 2004. AL contributed another piece to The Sunday Night Book Club, 2006, in aid of funding for breast cancer research.

WL 's experimental play about the life of an artist, Enemy of the Stars, was published in the first issue of his literary journal, Blast, which introduced the Vorticist movement.

From 1869 MTL began contributing occasionally to several periodicals. She began by submitting a poem to Bret Harte 's Overland Monthly, and four years later contributed a short story, Tale of a Tooth, to the same magazine. She had at least two articles published in Temple Bar: Manners and Customs in China (1874) and A Peep into Portugal (1876).

The volume contained thirty-three poems, including RM 's best-known, Trinity Sunday. Several had been previously published in the Westminster Gazette.

KSM first reached print with a short story in a recently-launched periodical, The Welcome Guest, A Magazine for All.

SM writes for a range of periodicals. In summer 2009 she contributed a piece about wind farms, A Lot of Hot Air, to the Scottish Review of Books.

She was committed to becoming a writer from an early age. By thirteen she had published further short fiction in both Reynolds News and the Lady's Companion (a journal which bore several successive versions of this title), on their respective children's pages.
