Wikipedia
freewoman
The Freewoman was a feminist weekly review published between 23 November 1911 and 10 October 1912, and edited by Dora Marsden and Mary Gawthorpe.Although The Freewoman published articles on women's waged work, housework, motherhood, the suffrage movement, and literature, its notoriety and influence rested on its frank discussions of sexuality, morality, and marriage. The Freewoman urged tolerance for male homosexuality, advocated for free love, and encouraged women to remain unmarried. The Freewoman's editorial stance distinguished it from the attitude of suffragists like Millicent Fawcett, who was so disturbed at the journal's approach to sexuality that she supposedly tore the first issue into little pieces. Although its circulation probably never exceeded 200, it had a significant influence in Modernist circles. Among its contributors were Rebecca West, H. G. Wells, Edward Carpenter, and Guy Aldred. In March 1912 Gawthorpe resigned due to poor health and disagreements with Marsden. In September 1912, W H Smith refused to carry The Freewoman and in October 1912, the journal folded. In June 1913 Marsden started The New Freewoman which was more concerned with literary modernism than feminism and was funded by Harriet Shaw Weaver. In 1914, The New Freewoman became The Egoist.
