English Women's Journal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The English Women's Journal was a periodical publication, issued by the Victoria Press in London between 1858 and 1864.

It was set up in 1858 by Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon as an organ for discussing employment and equality issues concerning, in particular, manual or intellectual industrial employment, expansion of employment opportunities, and the reform of laws pertaining to the sexes.

One historian referred to it as a social hub for people in the women's movement.
