, Manchester and is published by the
Co-operative Press, a
consumer co-operative whose members are the subscribers of the paper.
In 1883 the paper began publishing a Women's Corner, edited by
Alice Acland. This fomented the establishment of the Women's League for the Spread of Co-operation later that year. The League was later renamed to the
Women's Co-operative Guild.
