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.
