The Woman's Journal was the first regular woman's rights periodical in America. Its publication was the crowning achievement of Lucy Stone's long and distinguished feminist career. According to HAWH: "Stone's most active and lasting contribution to the women's movement is The Woman's Journal which she founded in 1870 and edited until her death in 1893. This extraordinary archive of women's history provided a weekly chronicle of woman's progress - political vocational economic cultural and legal-both in the United States and abroad.for over sixty one years." As the political organ of the National American Woman Suffrage Association The Woman's Journal printed meeting and convention addresses and notes reported on national and international news published columns and editorials on the suffrage struggle as well as poems stories and book reviews. Regular contributors included Julia Ward Howe William Lloyd Garrison T.W. Higginson and of course Lucy Stone and her husband Henry Brown Blackwell. After Stone's 1893 death her daughter Alice Stone Blackwell assumed responsibility for producing and editing the journal which was renamed The Woman Citizen; contributors to this new incarnation of the periodical read like a virtual who's who of early modern feminism: Susan B. Anthony Anna Shaw and Carrie Chapman Catt were only a few of the names on its ever-expanding masthead. This stock certificate from the founding of The Woman's Journal's production is a tangible artifact of the first American woman's rights periodical and a glimpse at the relationships and efforts behind its financing.
