Winifred Black worked in journalism from 1888 to 1936, often writing under the pseudonym Annie Laurie. Contemporary praise for Black named her "the world's most famous feature writer" and "one of the world's most successful reporters", while her critics affixed the pejorative labels "stunt girl" and "sob sister". This study covers her influential career and gives the first serious attention to her journalism and nonfiction.
