The Woman's Advocate was among the first publications focused on issues related to women's equality.

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.
