Later, Jameson was one of the circle around Elizabeth Jesser Reid, the founder of Bedford College (1849), the first college for women run by women, and towards the end of her life she was instrumental in the founding and development of the Englishwoman's Journal (1858), widely acknowledged as the first feminist periodical in Britain.
Jameson's complete correspondence has never been published although excerpts and entire letters appear in the three biographies[1] about her, some letters can be found in other published correspondences, and her letters to Ottilie von Goethe edited by G.H. Needler were published in 1939.
