Woman Citizen (1917-1931) was founded as a result of a legacy from Mrs Frank Leslie, who instructed Carrie Chapman Catt, head of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), to use the money to further the cause of women’s suffrage. Three separate pro-suffrage magazines were amalgamated, and straightaway the Woman Citizen enjoyed a solid reputation and wide circulation. After the women of the USA were enfranchised in 1920 (almost a decade before the UK’s women) the magazine focused on keeping women informed of political and social matters worldwide. Financial pressures began to increase in the late 1920s, and the magazine (now renamed Women’s Journal) was forced to close in 1931 during the Great Depression.
