H. D. 's work made its first appearance in the pages of Harriet Monroe 's Poetry, A Magazine of Verse (in its fourth number).

FSH began her literary career writing art reviews and articles for the Freeman's Journal and the Nation.

RPJ had her first short story published: Before the Wedding in the New Yorker.

Lang encouraged her to publish, as well as offering commentary on her poetry and printing her poems in his Longman's column, At the Sign of the Ship. The novel fuses Lang 's knowledge of folklore with MK 's knack for sharp criticism, focusing on a potential threat posed by scientific education to the English imagination.

Early in her career AK established a relationship with the publisher of the Churchman's Companion, and she also published at least one short story, The Flower Girl of Sicyon, in Macmillan's Magazine. This appeared anonymously, and was later reprinted in Rosamunda the Princess. Additional writings by her appeared in London Society, and the Penny Post.

On the back of her thesis typescript, ML wrote her first short story, Miss Holland.It was published in the Dublin Magazine, April-June 1939, after several rejections from other publications.

Violet Paget (later VL ) reached print at the age of thirteen: her short storyLes aventures d'une pièce de monnaie was serialized in the Swiss magazine La Famille.

At around the date that she published her first novel, 1885, HL also maintained a presence in the periodical press, writing for Macmillan's Magazine under the pseudonym E. Enticknappe. In that year Beeton's Christmas Annual included her Defeated. A Tale.

Though CL 's career in journalism or reviewing was very slight, it meant a good deal to her. She wrote in July 1892: I feel . . . now's the moment . . . plenty of foolscap, plenty of time, and a large quiet room to myself. How the 'Girl's Own' will be enriched next week! The next year she submitted to Woman an article on the grievances of married working women.

DM published the first of her many articles in the WSPU journal Votes for Women. In this piece she covered a Union rally attended by about 50,000 in Huddersfield.

Four of the poems had previously appeared in magazines. Of these, Why wilt thou Chide?, which was addressed to Coventry Patmore and responded to his violent jealousy of AM 's friendships with other men, had been published anonymously in the Pall Mall Gazette in July 1895.

By the time she entered high school she was keeping a journal in assorted and undated notebooks containing poems, bits of stories, drafts of letters, and reflections. One year into high school she began writing for the school paper, the Register, a humour column called Squeaks by Tillie the Toiler. She once recorded having written in three days (instead of the letters which she ought to have written): nineteen poems, four columns of Squeaks, three bitter tirades about things in daily life that she hated, one short short murder story; thirteen book reviews on books I never read; three imaginary conversations with (respectively) Satan, Rabelais , & the author of Elsie Dinsmore (Martha Finley ), and a dime novel. She developed an ambition to become a novelist. In fall 1928 she put a photo of Virginia Woolf on her desk, imitated Woolf 's style, transcribed passages from Katherine Mansfield 's journals, and parodied Gertrude Stein . She discovered Rebecca Harding Davis from a more than sixty-year-old copy of the Atlantic Monthly containing Life in the Iron Mills. Her own fiction at this time was political, autobiographical, and melodramatic. Expelled from school, she wrote in her diary: I must write. . . . it is all I have. Her writing began to reflect a personal transformation: after her first marriage her poems and other writing veered between the idyllic and ebullient, and the dark and despairing. In summer 1932, while pregnant, TO submitted some of her poems to Harriet Monroe for Poetry, A Magazine of Verse. Her covering letter mentioned how she could no longer write poetry that ignored social evils. Monroe never replied.

Back in London with her second husband in 1869, MAB embarked on a career in journalism, whose successful launch she attributed to the kindness of friends: George Grove , editor of Macmillan's Magazine (whom to know was to love), and Alexander Macmillan (who was always kindness itself to both of us, and was responsible for putting the idea of writing into my head). These men, especially Macmillan, were offering the same kind of encouragement to her husband. She began reviewing novels for The Times and contributing to the Cornhill and Macmillan's. She went back to writing for the Cornhill (articles on travel, and on her hobby of collecting birds) in 1899 as an impecunious widow, and kept up her contributions until 1904.

SB published A Museé Rodin in Paris, an essay on the museum's founding, in International Studio: An Illustrated Magazine of Fine and Applied Art.

IB described the state of Portsmouth in two articles for The Leisure Hour and in a set of private letters (later a printed pamphlet) about naval preparations for the Crimean War.

EB began writing poetry at the age of eight, mixing her own contributions with poems she learned by heart. The first money she earned by writing came at age twelve: a five-dollar gold piece for an essay on Americanism. Her first appearance in print came with poems and stories in The Blue Pencil, the magazine of Walnut Hill boarding school at Natick, Massachusetts. At Vassar she wrote a humorous column on campus goings-on for Miscellany News, but the magazine she had a hand in founding, and which printed her poems, was a dashingly radical new venture entitled Con Spirito. In her senior year she sold two pieces to a new, high-status weekly, The Magazine, for the princely sum of $26.18. Critic Michael Hofmann has written that she was raised on psalms, studied music, was fond of singing, translated sambas, wrote Dylanesque ballads . . . and blues.

During her early years in London with her husband, Thomas Brereton , JB not only wrote but printed poems. Some appeared in the Whitehall Evening-Post: for example To the Author of the Progress of Poetry [Judith Cowper Madan ] and The Dream (which repeats her praise of Madan).

The Ladies' Appeal and Protest against the Contagious Diseases Acts was printed in the Daily News; its more than a hundred signatories included JB .

At the beginning of her undergraduate career, in 1891, she published two successive essays in the Nebraska State Journal: first Concerning Thomas Carlyle, then Shakespeare and Hamlet. Still as an undergraduate, she published her first short story and her first poem, and became a Sunday columnist and a writer of theatre reviews who took no hostages.

CC wrote a series of articles for Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper in London.

Time and Tide published the first instalment of EMD 's Diary of a Provincial Lady; the column ran weekly on the centre pages.
