"[Jessie] Boucherett (b. 1825) ... 'one day ... caught sight, on a railway bookstall, of a number of the Englishwoman's Journal. She bought it, attracted by the title, but expecting nothing better than the inanities usually considered fit for women. To her surprise and joy she found her own unspoken aspirations [regarding women's employment] reflected in its pages'."
