The English Woman's Journal was a periodical dealing primarily with female employment and equality issues.
The journal also included literary and cultural reviews not directly related to its central interests.
[1] It was "an important publication in social and feminist history",[6] and so was chosen as one of six periodicals and newspapers to be digitised by the Nineteenth-Century Serials Edition project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
SPEW aimed at preparing young women for wider employment opportunities, providing apprenticeships and technical training.
[9] The English Woman's Journal was succeeded by The Englishwoman's Review, which started publication in 1866 and continued till 1910.
