Raising More Hell and Fewer Dahlias: The Public Life of Charlotte Smith, 1840-1917
Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 7:00 p.m.
Autumn Stanley extensively researched this first biography of nineteenth-century magazine
editor and reformer Charlotte Smith, who became a force to be reckoned with despite hav-
ing only a grade-school education and supporting two children alone. Her first periodical, the
Inland Monthly, was doubly rare: edited by a woman but not a women's magazine; and a profit-
able venture, bringing a large sum when sold.
Made possible by a generous gift from Dolorous Knight to Friends of the San Francisco Public Library
The Excelsior Branch of the San Francisco Public Library in association with Friends
of the San Francisco Public Library and District 11 Supervisor John Avalos presents
All programs at the Library are free.
