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 recounting of the Woman’s Journal, a champion for women's suffrage, during the early 1900s. Ryan reveals how the newspaper became a loud voice for women's rights, tracing its path from when it started until then including the difficulties along the way. The book remembers the founders, Lucy Stone and Henry B. Blackwell, and Alice Stone Blackwell who managed the publication through money problems and resistance from society. It paints a picture of the people and hard work of the suffragists who helped, pushing for unity to keep the Journal strong, so it could keep fighting for equality and the right to vote.
