Cambridge University Press ‘Elements’ series, Publishing and Book Culture, is celebrating the 2018 centenary of women’s partial suffrage by launching a call for proposals for short monographs to be publishing under a new strand in the series, called ‘Women, Publishing, and Book Culture’.

- Women as readers
- Women editors/publishers
- Invisible women’s labour (e.g. #ThanksforTyping)
- Women of colour and publishing and/or book culture
- Bookselling and women
- Women’s book and/or reading history
- Libraries and women
- Women and book culture in the Middle Ages
- Women, publishing, and book culture in the age of print
- Women, books, and resistance
- Women’s suffrage and publishing and/or book culture
- The academy and women
- Displaced women and books
Proposals should be completed using this form and submit to the Series Editor, Dr Samantha J. Rayner (s.rayner@ucl.ac.uk) and Associate Series Editor, Dr Rebecca E. Lyons (rebecca.lyons@bristol.ac.uk) by 1st December 2018. The series editors welcome informal questions and discussions about ideas.
