List of women printers and publishers before 1800

(Redirected from List of 18th-century women printers and publishers)

Further information: Women in journalism

This list of women printers and publishers before 1800 includes women active as printers or publishers prior to the 19th century. Before the printing press was invented, books were made from pages written by scribes, and it could take up to a year or two for a book to be completed. Books were a luxury mainly for religious scholars and the upper classes. Johannes Guttenberg invented the printing press around 1450, which allowed for mass production of books. Having books become more widely available meant that a wider range of people had access to information, but this threatened the authority of the state. Some printers had their works censored and may have been jailed for disseminating information of which the state did not approve.[1]

Printing required setting type and running the press itself, which could be arduous, as well as bookbinding. Although running the press was considered too physically difficult, many women were able to do all the jobs required to produce a book. Generally, women learned the trade from their fathers or husbands. From the mid-1500s to the mid-1600s, women made up 10% of the printing workforce in London.[1]

Prior to the abolition of the guild system in 19th-century Europe, the most common way for a woman to become a businesswoman was to inherit a business and profession from her late husband, as the guild privilege was by custom granted to the widow of a guild member. This was often the case in regard to women printers and publishers prior to the 19th century.

The list is sorted chronologically, by country:

Belgium (The Austrian Netherlands)

edit

Present-day Belgium was among the Low Countries of western Europe, which by the 16th century were "highly urbanized, literate, and cosmopolitan". Collectively known as 'Nederlanders", they shared common cultural roots, including ensuring that they had legal property and contractual rights. During the 16th and 17th centuries, there was significant growth in burgeoning fields, such as art and literature, which provided opportunities for women in the cities.[2] In particular, four women printers ran the family-owned Plantin-Moretus printing house (Plantin Press) over the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries: Martina Plantin, Anna Goos, Anna Maria de Neuf and Maria Theresia Borrekens.[3] According to the Plantin-Moretus Museum, they were largely responsible for company's longevity, and continuity.[3]

Leon Voet, notes that Martina Plantin and her sisters were not isolated cases, and states that "sixteenth-century Italian and Spanish travelers, accustomed to a world where women were barred from public life, repeatedly expressed amazement – and often indignation – in their accounts of the Netherlands at the extensive participation of women and girls in economic activities and their free and easy bearing in public."[4]

Colonial America

edit
 
1767 Maryland Gazette announcement by Anne Catherine (A.C.) Green

There were a few women publishers in the 18th century, including the tumultuous times leading up to and through the American Revolution.[63] Since printing was often a multi-generational family business, there were some printing families with two or more generations of women printers, which was the case with Ann Timothy and her mother-in-law, Elizabeth Timothy.[64] Benjamin Franklin also played a role in women running printing and publishing businesses. Franklin had used his own money to set up printing operations in the colonies for six years for each business. In the meantime, if the husband, like Lewis Timothy died, Franklin negotiated the arrangements for wives to take over the contract.[65] It was generally a financial necessity for widowed women in the printing profession to carry on the business,[64] like Ann, Elizabeth, and Margaret Hartman Markoe Bache.

These women followed Elizabeth Glover who set up a printing press after the seaboard journey from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony between 1638 and 1639 when it is believed that The Freeman's Oath was published in Glover's house.[65]

There were at least six women who were the official printers for various colonial governments, as Ann Timothy did for the state of South Carolina.[64] According to a syndicated article, "Helped the Colonial Cause": "In nearly every case they advocated the colonial cause, and their editorials did much to arouse the spirit of patriotism in the men."[63][66]

  • Dinah Nuthead (est. by 1662–after 1707 (fl. 1696) was a colonial printer based in the Province of Maryland. She is believed to be the first woman to be licensed as a printer in the Thirteen Colonies.[verification needed] Her husband, William Nuthead, established the second colonial printing business in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1682.[67] They moved to St. Mary's City, Maryland, in 1686 and established a press that primarily printed government forms.[68] Following her husband's death in 1695, Nuthead inherited the press and took over the business.[69]
  • Ann Smith Franklin (2 October 1696 – 16 April 1763), along with her husband James Franklin and brother-in-law Benjamin Franklin, began publishing The New-England Courant in 1721. It was the first independent newspaper published in the American colonies.[65] She became experienced in the printing business and general business practices. The couple established the Rhode Island Gazette in 1732 where Ann was assistant printer, skilled in setting type and operating the press. James was ill for a period of time and ultimately died on 4 February 1735. Ann took over the business, using the signature "Widow Franklin". Her six-year-old son, James J., traveled with Benjamin Franklin to Philadelphia to be educated by a private tutor. She taught her daughters how to set type and assist in running the printing business, which also printed books, almanacs, and other printed works.[65]

  • Anna Catharina Zenger (c. 1704–1751) was an American publisher and the first woman to publish a newspaper in America.[73][verification needed] Her husband, John Zenger printed and published New-York Weekly Journal. He was also said to have had editorial control, but the influential lawyer James Alexander was responsible for the paper's tone and content.[73] In 1734, John Zenger was arrested for seditious libel.[73] and, spent more than eight months imprisoned.[73] During this time Anna Catharina took over his publishing duties and may have received guidance during her regular visits to her husband in prison.[73] On John's release in 1735, he resumed control of the paper and printing business.[73] Eleven years later, after her husband's death, Anna Catharina once again took responsibility for running both operations.[73] She continued to publish the paper weekly, including a modest section of advertisements, along with other publications, including an annual almanac, and the printing shop also sold books and stationery.[73]
  • Anne Catherine Green (c.1720 – 23 March 1775) was a printer and publisher in Maryland.[65] Green published the Maryland Gazette and fulfilled contracts for the Maryland legislature during the period when her husband was ill and after his death in 1767. The family was left debt-ridden, and she needed to coordinate her printing and family activities for her six children, so she moved the printing business into her rented home. Green was able to keep on schedule for major jobs, like the printing of Acts and Votes and Proceedings for the Maryland legislature. She negotiated the same payment as would have been received by her husband. She got the family out of debt and purchased their home and printing business in three years.[65]

Sweden

edit

During the Middle Ages, nuns of the Vadstena Abbey managed a printing press and published works, but the first woman to be professionally active as a printer and publisher was not to appear until circa 1500. Since the widow of a male printer and publisher normally took over the business of her late spouse, women became fairly common in these professions in relation to the number of males, particularly in the 18th century, which was an era during which the Swedish press expanded rapidly, and 45 widow printers and publishers are known between 1496 and 1799; however, the majority of them only managed the business a few years before they remarried, and only a few truly left a mark in the profession.[143]
