THE SOCIAL REVIEW
(Note: Grimshaw joined this magazine’s Dublin publisher in 1891 and became sub-editor of the weekly in 1895. She wrote under her own name, and under pseudonyms “Grimas”, “Maev”, “G”, “Aunt Norah” and “Orlando Lyall”. The handful of citations below were culled from a thesis Susan Gardner, formerly a professor at Papua University (New Guinea), submitted to Rhodes Univ., South Africa, for a Ph.D., in 1985. Her work on Grimshaw began in the 1960s. For some reason Ms Gardner used volume numbers, year of publication and page number; very seldom was the actual month of publication listed. We suspect there are literally hundreds of pieces by Grimshaw in THE SOCIAL REVIEW and the magazine’s sister publications, CYCLIST and IRISH CYCLIST waiting to be discovered.)
