August 07, 1888

THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL, Boston, Aug. 7, 1880 

* Rare publication
* Women's suffrage


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 ftpg.
Of course the majority of the articles have to do with woman's rights. See images for some. 
Eight pages, a few tiny binding holes along the spine, nice condition.

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.
