ABSTRACT
These 1850s periodicals were crucial for attracting, legitimating and dispersing discussions of central concern for a growing national women’s movement. As this volume attests, those historians are inaccurate who imply that the women’s rights and women’s suffrage movements had no sustained press of their own until 1868 when Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and Parker Pillsbury edited and published The Revolution (e.g., Kugler 1987; Masel-Walters 1980).
