the _Stockton Leader_ is announced as "the only daily newspaper
in the world edited and published by a woman." Mrs. Boyer, known
as "Dora Darmoor," published different magazines and journals in
San Francisco during a period of several years, the most
successful being the _Golden Dawn_. Mrs. Theresa Corlett has been
connected with various leading journals of San Francisco, and is
well known as a brilliant and interesting writer. Miss Madge
