History

Woman's Progress was founded by Jane and Marianne Campbell in 1892.[1] The journal ran until 1896.[1] The Campbell sisters wrote under the pseudonyms, "T.S. Arthur" and "Catherine Osborne".[2] The first editions came out in 1893 and included contributions from Mary Grew, Elizabeth Powell Bond, and more.[3] Grew was featured in the "Representative Women" columns that the periodical featured.[4] As Catholics, the Campbells often focused on Catholic women in the periodical, though the sister also featured non-Catholics working to achieve women's rights and other similar goals.[4] The paper also supported women's suffrage.[5] It tackled issues that were considered both progressive at the time and also gave time to conservative issues.[6]
