The Mists and Mazes of Politics
This is not a blog for my opinions but clearly the magazines of 1894 (Home Notes) hoped to shape the opinions of the women they were aimed at. As I leaf through looking for patterns to photograph occasionally other stuff just jumps out at me.
Many of the articles are written by someone with a female name but these two are not signed, coming under the heading of 'Fireside Talks' and showing a line drawing of two women chatting by the fire... Home Notes was edited by 'Isobel' according to the cover. Mmm I wonder, Mr C Arthur Pearson (publisher) if both opinions might be yours?

No picture with this one but one assumes that we all know what they should look like.
