=The Corporation=

The Corporation

The Woman’s journal is a corporation formed under the laws of Massachusetts.  Its stockholders are interested in furthering the cause of equal suffrage through a paper owned and managed by suffragists.  Its directors, its editor-in-chief, and its deputy treasurer receive no salary; its stockholders receive no dividends.  Those who purchase stock do so for the sake of building up the paper to meet the needs of the movement.

Its Purpose

Its purpose is contained in the following description which appeared on the original title page:  “A weekly newspaper devoted to the interests of woman—­to her educational, industrial, legal, and political equality, and especially to her right of suffrage.”

Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the corporation is held on the second Monday in January to elect officers and transact such other business as may come before the meeting.  The officers are a board of five directors, a president, a treasurer, and a clerk.  The officers for 1916, elected at the last annual meeting are as follows: 

President, Alice Stone Blackwell; Deputy Treasurer, Howard L. Blackwell; Clerk, Catherine Wilde; Directors, Maud Wood Park.  Emma Lawrence Blackwell, Grace A. Johnson, Alice Stone Blackwell and Agnes E. Ryan.
