A woman from Scotland recounts her travels in the U.S., focusing
particularly issues relating to women (education, employment,
etc.), also discussing more general cultural matters.
The Victorian printer Emily Faithfull (1835 95) published Three
Visits in 1884. The work is an account of her American lecture
tours that took place in 1872 3, 1882 3 and 1884. Faithfull, a
controversial and independently minded figure, campaigned for the
employment and education rights of women. In 1860, Faithfull set up
a printing establishment for women, the Victoria Press, where,
despite fierce resistance from the printing trade, she employed and
trained women as compositors. In 1862, she was made Printer and
Publisher in Ordinary to Queen Victoria. Faithfull, a talented
speaker, lectured widely on how America was dealing with the
changing position of women, and the campaign for women's employment
rights. This account remains a key source for the history of
liberal feminism and the emancipation of nineteenth-century women.
