Lydia Bailey
Little known today, Lydia Bailey was a leading printer in Philadelphia for decades. Her career began in 1808, when her husband Robert died, leaving her with the family business to manage, and ended in 1861, when she retired at the age of 82. During her career, she operated a shop that at its height had more than forty employees, acted as city printer for over thirty years, and produced almost a thousand imprints bearing her name. Not surprisingly, sources reveal that she was closely associated with many of her now better-known contemporaries both in the book trade and beyond, people like her father-in-law, Francis Bailey, Mathew Carey, Philip Freneau, and Harriet Livermore. Through a detailed examination and analysis of various sources, Karen Nipps portrays Bailey’s experience within the context of her social, political, religious, and book environments. Lydia Bailey is the first monograph on a woman printer during the handpress period. It consists of a historical essay detailing Bailey’s life and analyzing her role in the contemporary book trade, followed by a checklist of her more than eight hundred known imprints. In addition, appendixes offer further statistical information on the activities of her shop. Together, these provide rich material for other historians of the book, as well as for historians of the early Republic, gender, and technology.

[...]even his father, Stephen Condren, a visual artist, while not relishing his son's choice of material, is more philosophical than uneasy: \"I told him that I didn't think it was wise because one day he might look back and wish that he'd rethought things. Being a stand-up in 2012 means seeming relatable, approachable, having a Twitter account, a Facebook profile, YouTube videos; it means recording introspective podcasts so immediate a listener feels as if the comedian is playing to an audience of one.

She makes her living as a grant writer at Beyondmedia Education, a small media arts organization. [...] yet she has done something no official journalist in Chicago has done so thoroughly: Born in England and schooled in Montreal, Bezalel knew little about Cabrini when she arrived in Chicago to study film at Columbia College, but she was intrigued by the isolated herd of rundown buildings that she whisked past on the L. \"I was struck by the segregation in the city,\" she recalls.
