"Through The Looking Glass

Did Not Finish:

"Girls and Literacy In America:
Historical Perspectives to the Present Moment"  

Jane Greer, editor

book has some glaring inaccuracies:

Ellen's mother, in the Wide, Wide World,

is depicted as steering Ellen away from a

"tempting confusing" of children's books
in favor of a Bible.  Ellen KNEW that they
were going to purchase a Bible.

Elsie Dinsmore is referred to as a conduct
novel; it is a RELIGIOUS novel.

Faith Gartney is referred to as the AUTHOR

of a book called  Girlhood.  The actual title

is Faith Gartney's Girlhood, and the author 

is A. D. T. Whitney.

The magazine Calling All Girls is described as

not having been destined for long-term success.

Excuse me???? It was published for YEARS, and

was EXTREMELY successful.  I had a subscription

when I was a teenager.
