Summary
The ‘Lady Editors’ concludes with a discussion of questions surrounding identity and editorial authority, describing how the nature of editorial authority swings back and forth between singularity and plurality, depending on societal pressures and larger intellectual trends. By analysing this cycle, the editorial profession can better understand both the opportunities and the challenges that could arise in the years to come.
