Item # 700683
March 24, 1888
THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL, Boston, March 24, 1888 Rare women's suffrage paper founded in 1870, produced by--among others--Lucy Stone, Alice Blackwell, Julia Ward Howe, and Mary Livermore. Published: "...to the interests of Woman, to her educational, industrial, legal & political Equality, & especially to her right of Suffrage" as noted on the front page.
Of course the majority of the articles have to do with woman's rights. But page 4 has a: "Letter From Frederick Douglass" in which he makes a correction to a report, mentioning in part: "...I am reported as saying that Mrs. Post was the first woman in whose eyes I found sympathy after my escape from slavery. What I did say was that Mrs. Post was 'among the first.' This may seem unimportant, but truth is always important, and I therefore make the correction." signed in type: Frederick Douglass.
Eight pages, a few tiny binding holes along the spine, minor light staining, nice condition
