London and Cambridge Macmillan and Co. 1862, 16 Bedford Street

London and Cambridge Macmillan and Co. 1862 was located at 16 Bedford Street, London. This was the publishing company that published Goblin Market and Other Poems by Christina Rossetti. Christina Rossetti’s, “Goblin Market” was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood because her brother was a founding member and she would often pose for their art, as well as she would visit their exhibits and their meetings would be held at their family home.

At the same time, the significance of this location plays into Betty Friedan's demand of women's representation in mainstream media and what she had planned on endorsing.
