For more about these visual artists—including Mabel Dearmer, Ethel Reed, and Netta Syrett's two sisters, Nellie and Mabel—see 33–4, 40–1. It is also worth noting that both during and after Beardsley's time at the Yellow Book, Henry Harland—whose wife was a rather New Woman-ish figure, as well as an author with work of her own published in the magazine—chose to employ such quasi-New Woman figures as the writers Ella D'Arcy and Ethel Colburn Mayne as sub-editors. The Yellow Book, therefore, serves as an excellent example of a magazine of the Nineties that drew upon the iconic ‘newness’ of New Women in a variety of capacities.
