Anderson's cutting-edge magazine\u003ci\u003e The Little Review\u003c\/i\u003e was a bastion of progressive politics and boundary-pushing writing from then-unknowns like T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, William Butler Yeats, and Djuna Barnes. And as its publisher, Anderson was a target. From Chicago to New York and Paris, this fearless agitator helmed a woman-led publication that pushed American culture forward and challenged the sensibilities of early 20th century Americans dismayed by its salacious writing and advocacy for supposed extremism like women's suffrage, access to birth control, and LBGTQ rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But then it went too far. In 1921, Anderson found herself on trial and labeled \"a danger to the minds of young girls\" by a government seeking to shut her down. Guilty of having serialized James Joyce's masterpiece \u003ci\u003eUlysses \u003c\/i\u003ein her magazine, Anderson was now not just a publisher but also a scapegoat for regressives seeking to impose their will on a world on the brink of modernization. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Author, journalist, and literary critic Adam Morgan brings Anderson and her journal to life anew in \u003ci\u003eA Danger to the Minds of Young Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, capturing a moment of cultural acceleration and backlash all too familiar today while shining light on an unsung heroine of American arts and letters. Bringing a fresh eye to a woman and a movement misunderstood in their time, this biography highlights a feminist counterculture that audaciously pushed for more during a time of extreme social conservatism and changed the face of American literature and culture forever.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdam Morgan is a culture journalist and critic who lives near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. His writing regularly appears in \u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e, and has also been published in \u003ci\u003eThe Paris Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eScientific American\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Los Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e, and more.
