The New York Ledger

Robert Bonner began the New York Ledger in 1855. It was a weekly newspaper that generated over 1.5 million readers. Since the paper's audience was largely female, the articles covered topics ranging from marriage, love, and babies. Writers contributed works of poetry, short fiction, and fashion advice. Fanny Fern was one of The New York Ledger's famous paid columnists.
