After Aphra Behn, Eliza Haywood was the most important English female novelist of the early eighteenth century. She also edited several serial newspapers, the most important of which, the Female Spectator, was the first modern periodical written by a woman and addressed to a female audience. This fully annotated collection of articles selected from the Female Spectator includes romantic and satiric fiction, moral essays, and social commentary, covering the broad range of concerns shared by eighteenth-century middle-class women. Perhaps most compelling to a twentieth-century audience is the evidence of what we might be tempted to call feminist awareness.

Selections from the Female Spectator
Interesting collection of essays from one of the earliest newspapers written by a woman for a female audience. This is essential reading for anyone interested in women's writing from this time period. Certainly many of Haywood's essays still ring true for the modern reader, particularly those on the themes of women's education and the stunting of women's capacities by lack of opportunity. While others are much more conservative, taken together, they still paint a clear picture of women's lives in 18th century England that is well worth reading about. Haywood has been largely forgotten as a novelist but she was a trailblazer in both fiction and nonfiction and her work is worth rediscovering.
