Bessie Rayner Parkes (1829 1925) was an English poet, writer and
prominent early feminist best known for her campaigns for women's
right to work and receive professional training. After meeting
fellow feminist activist Barbara Bodichon (1827 1891) they founded
the first English feminist journal, The English Woman's Review in
1858. Parkes served as its principal editor between 1858 1864. This
volume, first published in 1865 and containing several essays from
The English Woman's Review, advocates for young middle-class women
to be given the opportunity to work and earn a living in safe
conditions with fair pay. Parkes links the changes in society
caused by the Industrial Revolution to the need for women to work.
Her reassurance that married women should still be supported by
their husbands illustrates how Parkes, like other contemporary
feminists, worked within the contemporary social framework and used
existing social norms to justify her aims.
