The Society for Promoting the Employment of Women was established in 1859 by Jessie Boucherett, Barbara Bodichon, and Adelaide Anne Proctor. Their official journal was the English Women's Journal, published by Emily Faithfull's Victoria Press from March 1858-August 1864. It changed its name twice in the 20th century: in 1926, it became the Society for Promoting the Training of Women, and in 2014 it was rebraded Futures for Women.
