background: The Woman’s Journal, founded in Boston by Lucy Stone and her husband Henry Browne Blackwell, was one of the most influential newspapers of the women’s suffrage movement in the United States. Published weekly, it served as the official voice of the American Woman Suffrage Association and later became closely associated with the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Edited by their daughter Alice Stone Blackwell in later years, the journal provided a platform for prominent suffragists like Susan B. Anthony and Julia Ward Howe, and covered key issues such as voting rights, legal equality, and educational opportunities for women. Through speeches, editorials, and reports from around the country, The Woman’s Journal united and informed advocates for women’s rights for nearly five decades, ultimately merging into The Woman Citizen in 1917 as the movement reached its final push for the 19th Amendment.
