[1]Woman’s Journal, a weekly periodical (1870–1917), was founded in Boston by Lucy Stone and her husband, Henry Blackwell, as an organ of the American Woman Suffrage Association. Other editors were Julia Ward Howe and Alice Stone Blackwell.

[2]“Mutual Improvement. — On Thursday evening, a meeting of ladies was held, at the Council House, to take into consideration the advisability of organizing a Central Committee for young ladies’ improvement societies. About fifty ladies attended and President John W. Young and Elder George Q. Cannon were present.” (“Local and Other Matters,” Deseret News, 25 July 1877, 8.)

[3]Edward W. Tullidge’s volume Women of Mormondom had been prepared with backing from Eliza R. Snow. Many Latter-day Saint women contributed sketches; EBW wrote an account of the life of Elizabeth Ann Smith Whitney.
