#Welcome to the CitySlaveGirls repository!

####These wiki pages hold important information for our project editors!

This is a public work space to experiment with coding and digitizing the "City Slave Girls" series of the Chicago Times, 1888.

The original publication in the Chicago Times and was authored by Helen Cusack under the pseudonym Nell Nelson.
After the original newspaper publication there were two books published within the same year that included edited, abridged versions of the series. (There is also evidence that the series was republished in New York's World newspaper the following year.)
