The English Woman's Journal was a magazine issued by the Victoria Press in London between 1858 and 1864.
It was established in 1858 by Barbara Bodichon and Bessie Rayner Parkes, with others, Bodichon being the major shareholder. Samuel Courtauld also held shares. Matilda Mary Hays was another founder.
It was intended as an organ for discussing employment and equality issues concerning, in particular, manual or intellectual industrial employment, expansion of employment opportunities, and the reform of laws pertaining to the sexes.
The staff writers included Emily Davies, who edited the Journal in 1863. The Langham Place circle was the group of like-minded women who gathered at 19 Langham Place, the Journal's office; it included also Helen Blackburn, Jessie Boucherett and Emily Faithfull.

“Bourbon’s the only drink. You can take all that champagne stuff and pour it down the English Channel. Well, why wait 80 years before you can drink the stuff? Great vineyards, huge barrels aging forever, poor little old monks running around testing it, just so some woman in Tulsa, Oklahoma can say it tickles her nose.”
—John Michael Hayes (b.1919)
“The city is always recruited from the country. The men in cities who are the centres of energy, the driving-wheels of trade, politics or practical arts, and the women of beauty and genius, are the children or grandchildren of farmers, and are spending the energies which their fathers’ hardy, silent life accumulated in frosty furrows in poverty, necessity and darkness.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To have some account of my thoughts, manners, acquaintance and actions, when the hour arrives in which time is more nimble than memory, is the reason which induces me to keep a journal: a journal in which I must confess my every thought, must open my whole heart!”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
