Letter from Emily Davies to Barbara Bodichon, 1866-08-16
Scope and Contents
Delighted at your success as an artist. Hope you will soon make £1000 a year. Isa will send Mrs [Helen] Taylor the subscription list. Her paper for Kensington Society and abstract for the Times. Work of Parliament now to carry out social improvements; women know more than men. Lord Shaftesbury to be President of Education Department this year; he is favourable to employment of women. Formula suggested to Miss Taylor: 'All persons who fulfil the conditions of property or rental prescribed by law as the qualification of the electorial franchise and who exercise in their own name, the other rights attaching to those conditions'. This excludes wives without sacrificing any principle.
