| AdminHistory | The Ladies Newspaper was a ladies' magazine which ran between 1847 and 1863 in London. The title merged with The Queen and The Court Chronicle in 1863 to become The Lady's Newspaper, The Queen & Court Chronicle, and later became Harpers and Queen in the UK, and then part of the British Harper’s Bazaar.
The Lady’s Newspaper was one of the earliest newspapers produced for an exclusively female audience. It marketed itself as a general newspaper, containing all of the news of the day, but presented in a way considered suitable and enjoyable for women to read. |
| CustodialHistory | The majority of this collection was donated to LJMU Special Collections & Archives in 2014, with significant contributions made by the late Nickianne Moody, former Head of Media and Cultural Studies at LJMU, Dr Mel Gibson of Northumbria University, and Dr Jo Knowles of LJMU's Media, Culture, and Communication programme with the specific purpose of preserving 'ephemera' associated with women and girls' history and material studies which was otherwise at risk of significant loss due to lack of collecting value. The ongoing annual lecture series on Femorabilia has been named the Nickianne Moody Memorial Lecture Series in recognition of the contributions made by the late Nickianne Moody. |
