First Issue of 'The Woman's World'

In his new editorial position, Wilde's name was published in large print and the authors were given credit in print for their works. The first issue pushed fashion to the back and lengthened the issue from 36 to 48 pages, its focuses included education, literature, and a new direction for fashion. In his piece 'Literary and Other Notes' he regards the debated crossdessing and assimilation of sexual neutrality by stating the ‘dress of the two sexes will be assimilated, as similarity of costume always follows similarity of pursuits’ (WW, I, 40).
