EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Flora Klickmann (1867-1958) is captured in the autumn of 1908, as she assumes the role of editor of The Girls' Own Paper following the unfortunate demise of its founding editor, Charles Peters. The image presents Klickmann as a determined and capable woman, dressed in the fashionable attire of the Edwardian era. With her serious expression and steady gaze, she exudes an air of authority and competence. Born in 1867, Flora Klickmann was a trailblazing journalist, author, and editor who made significant contributions to the literary and journalistic landscape of her time. She began her career as a teacher before turning to journalism, and her writing appeared in various publications, including The Girls' Own Paper. When Peters passed away, Klickmann was appointed as his successor, becoming the first female editor of the popular magazine. Under her stewardship, The Girls' Own Paper continued to thrive, providing young readers with engaging and informative content that reflected the changing times. Klickmann's tenure saw the magazine expand its focus to include more articles on science, history, and current events, in addition to its traditional emphasis on morality and domesticity. Her commitment to empowering young women through education and self-improvement resonated with readers, making her a beloved and influential figure in the lives of many. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in Klickmann's career, as she steps into the role of editor with confidence and determination. It serves as a testament to her groundbreaking achievements as a woman in journalism during the early 20th century and her enduring impact on the lives of young readers.
