Today I went back to a post I wrote some time ago on women writers of supernatural and Gothic fiction. I am sad to say that, as awesome a source of information as the Internet can be, some of the resources I linked to there now lead to “error–404” pages.A nicely done partial bibliography of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s work has disappeared (although her papers are now available through Harvard and Radcliffe, so that’s a pretty neat development), and at this time I am not able to find a single portrait or photo of Georgia Wood Pangborn. The draft introduction to a limited edition of Pangborn’s work published by Violet Ivy Press is no longer online.Even Wikipedia has little to say about her. I did my best to update the entry and the links. While Perkins Gilman really needs no introduction, as her work has entered the canon of American literature, l’d like to reintroduce you to some women authors who haven’t received the same kind of attention– the magazinists.
