Explores how, in writing about insane asylums, the mentally ill, prisons, and criminals, women journalists in the late nineteeenth century deployed a gendered sympathetic language to excavate a professional space within a male-dominated workplace. These pioneering women exemplified how narrative sympathy opened female space within the “hard news” city room of America’s largest newspapers.
