About This Item
This single-issue newspaper was originally designed as a handout for a fair sponsored by the "Ladies of the Protestant Mission" and was subsequently reprinted and distributed to subscribers of the FRIEND in its next issue, with a circulation of about 1000 copies, as represented here. No example of the original handout is known to have survived. Another 25 years passed before a women's newspaper appeared again in Hawaii, and it too was a single issue only and was both more conventional and less interesting than its forerunner. An argument can be made that THE FOLIO is the very first newspaper dedicated to women's rights published anywhere as Amelia Bloomer's THE LILY, which was first published in 1849, began as a temperance journal and only later began including articles on women's rights.
