Title
The Englishwoman
Description
Doughan states that it is effectively a NUWSS attempt to provide a woman-oriented equivalent of such “mainstream” literarly-intellectual magazines as the Nineteenth Century, Contemporary Review, etc. It acted as a forum for serious feminist discussion at greater length and higher intellectual level than was possible in the suffrage campaign papers.
The periodical also had many distinguished contributors, including Millicient Fawcett, Cecily Hamilton, Mary Lowndes, John Galsworthy, and George Bernard Shaw. It consisted entirely of long articles and reviews, the latter of which, Doughan notes, are of particular interest.
