The Autobiography of a "Newspaper Girl" by Elizabeth L. Banks Lina Elizabeth Banks was an American journalist and author. She grew up in Wisconsin, then lived in England the last forty years of her life. She became a regular contributor to English publications such as The Daily News, Punch, St James' Gazette, and London Illustrated. She created a sensation by recording her observations on the plight of the lower classes, which she researched posing as a housemaid, street sweeper, and Covent Garden flower girl. Her later journalistic writings promoted women's right to vote and denounced prison conditions for jailed suffragettes. This memoir was written about 10 years into her career, when she was better known but was not financially secure.Her public-facing accounts of her "undercover" work are related in Campaigns of Curiosity - Summary by Trici Sounds From The Slammer Adam Schrader and Angus Mordant Sounds From The Slammer, a new podcast from journalists Adam Schrader and Angus Mordant, lets listeners hear music performed and written by inmates in prisons across the country.Each episode, approximately 45 minutes long, features recorded interviews with these jailed artists and their music. This wouldn't be possible without the full support and encouragement from prison staff, who have (mostly) expressed high interest and gratitude at the opportunity to participate in our project.Correctional officers have vocalized that these bands teach inmates responsibility and provide them with focus and an outlet for creative expression. We hope listeners also find value in this music/news hybrid podcast and seek to learn more about these artists and their works.Stay tuned for other projects borne by Sounds From The Slammer.
