Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Dora Marsden" in English language version.
Her Freewoman leaders already traced two doctrinal shifts—transitions from feminist to anarchist and from socialist to individualist idioms—directly connected to her support in the New Freewoman for literary innovation within a psychological practice of 'egoistic investigation'
This unease over the content of suffragist politics was combined with a dislike of the autocratic organisation of the suffrage societies, in particular the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). Freewoman contributors believed that militant suffrage organisations demanded an obedience from their members that amounted to 'servility' and was fundamentally antagonistic to the ends of feminism.
The key stages in her personal development, from New Woman to suffragette, from feminist to anarchist, taking in philosophical individualism and literary modernism en route, can only be understood in relation to the influential intellectual currents of her day.
Given all these changes, it is not easy to sort out the relationships among these three journals. It is apparent, though, that Marsden wished the second to be clearly distinguished from the first [...] On the other hand, for the first three years of The Egoist, the masthead of the third journal carried this statement about its connection to the second: "Formerly the NEW FREEWOMAN." Thus it is clear that the editor wished to emphasize the break between the first two incarnations of the journal and the connection between the last two. Following this lead, we should be aware that these connections are real.
