Women in Journalism.

The influence of women in journalism in the United States is far greater than appears on the surface. The fact that there are sixty papers and periodicals openly edited aud published by women gives but a very small fractional idea of the extent of their connection with journaUsm. The number of female contribnters to all classes of papers and*magazines is not known to the general public, and not always even to the publishers, from the fact that in the highest class of periodicals they frequently adopt male noms de plume, whUe many others form part of the editorial staff of influential journals, where, as impersonal contributors, sex is not recognized.
