Editorship

[edit]

Jessie Boucherette founded this journal; the history of subsequent editors is not entirely clear to me and I have changed the article to a vaguer statement than what was here previously. The Oxford Dictionary of National biography (2004) says that Helen Blackburn was "editor (1880–90) and joint editor (1890–95)."[1] However, Victorian Britain: An Encyclopedia (1988) says "Although she served as titular editor for only four years, Boucherett remained involved with the journal until her death [October 1905]. Succeeding editors were Caroline Ashurst Biggs (1870-1889), Helen Blackburn (1890-1903), and Antoinette Mackenzie."[2] Editor credits in the magazines themselves show Blackburn serving until 1903. The Truest Form of Patriotism: Pacifist Feminism in Britain, 1870-1890 (2003) says "The Englishwoman's Review... was initially edited by Jessie Boucherett. Caroline Ashurst Biggs (1840-[September 18]89) took over in January 1871, editing the journal until her death. Boucherett again spent a brief spell editing the Review, until Helen Blackburn and Antoinette Mackenzie took over the editorship in June 1890."[3] Levana Taylor (talk) 19:32, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
