Bertha Mahony
Bertha Mahony (1882–1969), also known as Bertha Mahony Miller, is considered a figurehead of the children’s literature movement. She created one of the first children’s bookstores in Boston, Massachusetts. Mahony was also the founder of the ''Horn Book Magazine''. Besides being the oldest magazine of its kind in America, ''Horn Book'' is still considered one of the most well-known arbiters of excellence in children’s publishing.〔Jenkins, Christine A. "The History of Youth Services Librarianship: A Review of the Research Literature." ''Libraries & Culture'' 35 (Winter 2000), p. 111.〕 Mahony was also responsible for the creation of the Horn Book, Inc. publishing company.
