Description

The Girl’s Own Paper was first published in January 1880, and by the end of the nineteenth century, it was welcoming a quarter of a million readers to its weekly pages of advice on the concerns of the age; from playing hockey and keeping hens to curtseying at court and balancing the budget. Its Melodramatic serials and romances delighted readers from a future Queen of England, through the daughters of country houses and rectories, to housemaids in industrial cities, and from six-year-olds to grandmothers!


A remarkable selection of extracts from
The Girl’s Own Paper 1880-1901, Great Grandmama’s Weekly illuminates the Victorian Era through these lively extracts and reveals how the concerns and experiences of the readers of The Girl’s Own Paper continue to resonate today, exploring self-improvement, better pay, diet and cosmetics, cookery, crafts, and music. Wendy Forrester has curated a fascinating window on the era, allowing readers to see through the eyes of their great great grandmothers.
