NAWSA GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE The Woman's Journal (1862-1893) The Woman's Journal Volumes on hand April 1961 (Complete for each year) 1872 - 8 volumes 1873 - 6 1903 - 2 1904 - 2 1905 - 2 1906 - 2 1908 - 3 1910 - 2 1915 - 2 1916 - 8 1917 - 2 all [?] [?] who responded to noted [?] i[?] W[?] Library Bulletin WOMAN AND THE PRESS. On Friday afternoon, May 30th, a meeting was held in Studio Building, Boston, for conference in regard to a new periodical devoted to the interests of woman. While none questioned the value and the need of such an instrument in the Woman's Rights cause, the difficulties that would endanger or even defeat the enterprise were fully discussed, but with this issue - that the experiment should be made. For furtherance, therefore, of so desirable an object, we insert and call attention to the following PROSPECTUS OF THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL. When we consider that there is scarcely a party, sect, business organization or reform which is not represented in the press, it appears strange that women, constituting one half of humanity, should have no organ in America, especially devoted to the promotion of their interests, particularly as those interests have excited more wide-spread attention in this country than in any other, while in no other country can the double power of free speech and a free press be made so effective in their behalf. This appears stranger from the fact that conservative England has successfully supported a journal of this sort for years with acknowledged unity. America needs such a journal to centralize and give impetus to the efforts which are being made in various directions to advance the interests of woman. It needs it most of all at this time, when the civil war is calling forth the capabilities of women in an unwonted degree, both as actors and sufferers - when so many on both sides are seen to exert a most potent influence over the destinies of the nation, while so many others are forced by the loss of husbands, sons and brothers to seek employment for the support of themselves and families. Social problems too, are gradually becoming solved by the progress of events, which will leave to that of woman the most prominent place henceforth. To meet this want of the times, we propose to establish a Woman's Journal, based on the motto, "Equal Rights For All Mankind," and designed especially to treat of all questions pertaining to the interests of women, and to furnish an impartial platform for the free discussion of these interests in their various phases. It will aim to collect and compare the divers theories promulgated on the subject, to chronicle and centralize the effects made in behalf of women in this country and elsewhere, and to render all possible aid to such undertakings, while at the same time it will neglect no field of intellectual effort or human progress of general interest to men of culture. It will comprise reviews of current social and political events, articles on literature, education, hygiene, etc., a feuilleton composed chiefly of translations from foreign literature -in short, whatever may contribute to make it a useful and entertaining family paper. Its columns will be open, and respectful attention ensured, to all thinkers on the subjects of which it treats, under the usual editorial discretion, only requiring that they shall accept a priori the motto of the paper, and shall abstain from all personal discussion. Among the contributors already secured to the JOURNAL whom we are permitted to name, are Mrs. Lydia Maria Child, Mrs. Caroline M. Severance, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mrs. Frances D. Gage, Miss Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, George Wm. Curtis, T. W. Higginson, Moncure D. Conway, Theodore Tilton, and William H. Channing ; and other distinguished writers have promised us their aid. No pains will be spared to enlist the best talent in the country, and to make the paper one of literary merit, as well as practical utility. THE JOURNAL will be issued semi-monthly, in octavo form, sixteen pages, at Two Dollars per annum, the first number appearing on the 1st of October next, and will be published in Boston. Subscriptions will be received from this date by agents of the JOURNAL, or by the Editors, Roxbury, Mass., Lockbox 2, to be paid on receipt of the first number of the JOURNAL. In this connection, we would earnestly solicit the coöperation of friends of woman throughout the country, in extending the subscription list of the JOURNAL, and thus placing it on that permanent basis which will ensure its continued utility and success. Those interested in the enterprise are respectfully requested to communicate with the Editors at the above address. A discount of twenty-five per cent. will be made to agents. Agents will please return all prospectuses with names before the 15th of July. MARY L. BOOTH MARIE E. ZAKRZEWSKA, M.D. BOSTON, May 15, 1862. POSTPONEMENT OF THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL- The changes in public affairs, lending to a prolongation of the civil war, which have occurred since our last issue of the prospectus of the Woman's Journal in May last, have determined us, with the concurrence and advice of the friends of the enterprise, to postpone its publication to a more favorable turn of events. Meanwhile, we shall be glad to receive communications as before from those interested, at Lockbox 2, Roxbury, Mass. The money already received for subscriptions will be returned on demand, or will be deposited in bank to the credit of the parties sending it, to await the appearance of the Journal. MARY L. BOOTH MARIE E. ZAKRZEWSKA, M.D. Boston, Aug. 29, 1862. This Woman's Journal suggested by Dr. Zak. has no connection with The Woman's Journal Established 1870 THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL. As evidenced by these two clippings, it will be seen that an attempt was made in 1862 to establish a woman's rights paper in Boston, called the WOMAN'S JOURNAL. This is not the same paper established by Lucy Stone and Henry B. Blackwell in 1870 under the same name. LEADERS IN SUFFRAGE CONVENTION AT WASHINGTON Esther Abelson of this city selling a suffrage organ, and Mrs. James Laidlaw. Miss Abelson and Mrs. Laidlaw, two active campaigners in behalf of woman suffrage, are among the hundreds of delegates attending the annual convention of the National American Women's Suffrage Association in Washington. Miss Abelson, when not taking an active part in the convention proceedings, spends her time on the principal streets of Washington selling the Woman's Journal, the chief organ of the national association. IN LIGHTER VEIN From All Sides Maude: "I'll give Tom credit for one thing: he gave Susie a beautiful engagement ring." Reggie: "Yes, the jeweler told me that he gave Tom credit for that, too!" Same Thing "I have been trying to think of a word for days and days!" "Well, why don't you try "week" or month?" Free of Duty "Did you see much poverty in Europe?" "Yes, indeed. A good deal. In fact, I brought some back with me."––Montreal Star. Nebelspalter, Zurich "Come back; fancy going out in this weather with that lovely umbrella." A Royal Pun It is recalled that a great punster was once asked to make an extempore pun. "On what subject?" he asked. "On the king," was the reply. "Oh," said the punster, "the king is not a subject."––Methodist Protestant- Recorder. The Window Boxes Mistress: "Amy, what on earth are you doing?" Maid: "Well, ma'am, I finished cleaning the windows, so I thought I'd make a good job of it and empty the rubbish out of these 'ere boxes. So much dirt in 'em, ma'am, that things 'ad started to grow in 'em!"––Humorist. Obedient Mother: "Darling, were you a good boy at Aunt Nell's today?" Little Larry: "Yes, I never asked for a thing at the table. I waited till after dinner and asked for more pie in the kitchen."––Chicago Daily News. For Efficiency Clerk: "I can't help being sleepy in the office. My baby is teething and every five minutes wakes me up." Chief: "If that is so you had better bring him to the office."––Der Wahre Jakob (Berlin). Sunshine "How was your stay at the beach?" "Fine––but the first tan days were the hardest."

The Riverside Press, Cambridge, Mass. 24 April 1875 Editor of Woman's Journal Boston We beg to ask your careful attention to the accompanying History of Our Country by Mrs. Richardson, which we are about to publish, because we think it has some points about it distinguishing it from similar works. It is not a book hastily gathered together, but the patient, careful work of a woman who has devoted herself to it for several years, and has done her work with enthusiasm. She has young people especially in her mind when writing it and the book is thus rather a bright full narrative - a story rather than a formal History of our country. She has given the wars as a necessary but purposely has brought into greater prominence the victories of peace. We trust that the book will commend itself to your favorable notice, and remain Yours Truly H. Houghton Mrs Livermore - resigned as Ed of Journal Jan 6, 1872. Please have this ready tomorrow Lynn Mass. Dec. 1/81 Editor Woman's Journal, Dear Madam, Enclosed you will find $2,50, which I send to pay for the Woman's Journal, to be sent to my address, for one year. I have hitherto received the paper through a friend, but I think I will have one of my own now, so that I can have some to give away. I received your letter last Sunday, and I wish to thank you for your evidently careful perusal of my manuscript, and for your friendly criticism of my work. I feel more curious= =aged by your commendations than discouraged by your declining, for sufficient reasons, to publish it. Looking into Webster, I find you were right. I should have used the word "seditious" instead of "seditionary,"— and "interjectional" instead of "interjectionary." The fact that the endowment of female moose with horns would not, for the reason you suggest, be a parallel case with the endowment of women with the right of Suffrage, did not escape me while writing up the Convention — still, in reflecting upon it, I found that it had been my perception of the similarity of circumstances between the two cases which had given me the conception of that part of the story the instant I read, in a work on National History, that only the male moose have horns. I reasoned that what had struck me as points of resemblance might also become manifest to the reader, if the story ever found one. If I gave up that idea of making horns and suffrage identical, I had to give up the whole plot, so I went on, leaving that place, as I fully realized, a little weak and lame. I think I can remedy it somewhat, — I can introduce some more discussion in the Convention and give Rebecca, (fresh from the study of Darwin,) a chance to remark that the use and exercise of any faculty or organ promotes its growth and efficiency, while its disuse causes loss of functional power, and degradation, if not absolute destruction, of the organ itself. She can, if she thinks best, speak of the eyeless fishes in the rivers of dark caves, of the wingless beetles of oceanic islands, which dare not try to fly for fear of being swept into the sea by high winds, but the microscope can detect the germs of wings under their skins and perhaps the crippled feet of the Chinese women may help me some. The first of next week I shall direct an Express man to call at No 5 Park street, for my manuscript. Will you have the kindness to make a package of it, and direct it to Mrs. Augusta H.

The Massachusetts branch of the American Federation of Labor, in session recently in Boston, recommended that additional women inspectors be appointed by the Governor for the purpose of securing a better enforcement of the factory laws, and that these women be selected from those who have had actual experience in factories or workshops, and depend upon their own efforts for their support.

Miss Georgia Holmesby Stanton Arizona 1 Copy 25 (About Woman's Journal name) Boston, Aug. 19, 1892 Miss Mary F. Seymour Dear Madam: On learning, only a few days ago, from your last issue of the Business Woman's Journal, that you proposed to issue your next number as "The American Woman's Journal", my wife, Mrs. Lucy Stone, wrote to you at once, expressing the strong objection which we feel to your assuming a title which will unavoidably confuse the public as to the identity of each paper, and will practically infringe upon our trade-mark, which has been made valuable to us, by 22 years of continuous use, expenditure, and effort. We have hoped for a reply expressing your willingness, if you change your present excellent title, to take one, which would not lead to unavoidable misunderstanding and conflict. I have not yet ascertained what steps we can take to maintain our equitable claim to the title, to which, as the former representative of the American Woman Suffrage Association, we have given a national significance, because I have been unwilling to believe that you would assume a name which we think is against your own interest as well as against ours. When Mrs. Houk at one time proposed to take the name of "The Woman's Century," the Century Co. promptly notified her that they should take legal steps to prevent it, and she changed her plan.. We should have no objection to your calling your paper "The Journal of American Women," or anything else that was not substantially our name, for we sincerely wish for your prosperity and success. Please let us hear from you as soon as convenient in regard to this matter, and oblige, Yours truly Proprietor of the Woman's Journal per Henry B. Blackwell (Treasurer) Office Of The Woman's Journal No. 3 Park Street Boston, July 31 1893. Boston Mailing Co.
