Summary "The Torch Bearer: A Look Forward and Back at the Woman's Journal, the Organ of the Woman's Movement" by Agnes E. Ryan is a historical account written during the early 20th century, specifically reflective of the 1910s. This book discusses the significance of the Woman's Journal, which has served as a vital voice for the women's suffrage movement since its inception. Through detailing its operations, challenges, and growth, Ryan highlights the paper's critical role in advocating women's rights and suffrage. In this comprehensive exploration, Agnes E. Ryan chronicles the history and evolution of the Woman's Journal, founded by notable suffragists Lucy Stone and Henry B. Blackwell in 1870. The work portrays the tireless efforts of the staff and contributors, including Alice Stone Blackwell, who managed the publication through financial struggles and societal opposition. Ryan presents a rich tapestry of suffragist history, emphasizing the need for collective support to sustain the Journal, which acted as a beacon for the women's movement. The narrative underscores the challenges faced by the publication and calls on suffragists to foster a robust organizational backing to ensure its survival, ultimately reinforcing the broader fight for gender equality and voting rights.
