In 1841 Catherine and Goodwyn Barmby published their 'Declaration of Electoral Reform' in which they demanded that the People's Charter be amended to include female suffrage. Goodwyn had earlier written articles published in Promethean exhorting Chartists to redact the Charter with female suffrage added, complaining that as it then existed it was 'nothing but General Masculine Suffrage.' He went on to proclaim, 'Every argument that the Chartist brings against Whig and Tory for not admitting the working-man to the right of voting, can we bring against the Chartist for not advocating the right of the woman to the franchise.'
