OUR LATEST JOURNAL FROM THE SOCIETY OF WOMEN WRITERS AND JOURNALISTS

 Bumper summer Journal edited by Barbara Field-Holmes  just off the press and issued number as 100. This doesn't mean that our newsletter (known earlier as The Woman Writer) has only been in existence from the millenium - a mere 20 years - after all, our Society has been operating for more than 127 years and has gone through many changes - yet still we are the oldest (and best) continuing writing organisation on the web. Our 100th edition contains so much interesting and useful information, not only for our members, but for the many friends and colleagues in the world of writing.

Let's take a glance at our earlier newsletters, including this number one which was edited by Doreen Friend who performed sterling work in spring of millennium year 2000. That wonderful English director Bryan Forbes came to talk to us several times, along with numerous other luminaries of the film and writing world, and we invariably showcased them on the front page of our earlier periodicals. 

Here is an image of one of our even earlier newsletters we called The Woman Journalist.

Around one hundred years ago - just after World War One - our Society was pleased to use a little paid  advertising to help finance our publishing needs (and indeed the paper on which our newsletters were printed) as this resource was extremely scarce at the time.
