In a call to arms, she said that she also hoped that women and other scholars entering via the back door would pull up a chair, get down a book, read, and as a result, also disrupt ideas of knowledge and notions of scholarship. Early members of the society, such as Sally Mitchell, Rosemary VanArsdel, Martha Vicinus, and Eugenia Palmegiano, were already challenging the focus on male authors and high-status literary periodicals, providing a supportive intellectual community where Margaret’s work on popular women’s magazines was recognised and valued. Margaret’s interest in women’s physical and social experiences, of the complex power relationships of domesticity and desire, is clear in her account of the now notorious corset correspondence in “‘Natural but Firm’: The Corset Correspondence in the Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine” (1991). 2 One of her first academic publications, a chapter in a 1985 edited collection on class and culture in Victorian Manchester, acknowledged London’s hegemony even in locally published magazines.3 Margaret is unusual in challenging the metropolitan periodical as the default object of analysis, always explaining why she is studying a London title rather than taking it for granted.4 She returned to regional periodicals later in her career, with articles on Ben Brierley’s Journal and summer seaside special editions of Manchester periodicals.
