In 1870, Lucy Stone and her husband, Henry Browne Blackwell, founded The Woman’s Journal, a weekly newspaper. Their daughter, Alice Stone Blackwell began work as an editor in 1883 and became the sole editor until 1917. At its founding, the Woman's Journal absorbed the Woman’s Advocate. In 1910 it absorbed the National American Woman Suffrage Association's (NAWSA) publication, Progress. In 1917, Woman's Journal sold the newspaper to Carrie Chapman Catt's Leslie Woman Suffrage Commission, which merged it with the Woman Voter, and National Suffrage News to form The Woman Citizen. From 1917-1920, the Woman Citizen was the official organ of NAWSA and was published weekly, biweekly, and finally monthly until December 1927, when it was once again named The Woman’s Journal. It ceased publication in June 1931.

The Woman's Advocate was among the first publications focused on issues related to women's equality. The mission of the Woman's Advocate was to "labor for the legal and political equality of women . . . . also consider the questions of woman's work, wages, education, and social status. It will record the progress of the cause abroad, and aim to be a faithful index of all important home movements." The publication was absorbed by the Woman's Journal in 1870.
This issue included essays and articles by Nora Perry, Frances D. Gage, Jane O. DeForest, Louisa J.G. Littlefield, M.E.J. Gage, Phebe A. Hanaford, Content Whipple, W.J. Linton, M.W. Campbell, and Lucy Stone.
