Hannah Chapman (1833–1916)
Hannah Macdonald. His wife, Susanna, remained in England until her death in March 1892. In Paris, Chapman edited the Westminster Review with Hannah. A widow twelve years younger than Chapman, she continued to edit the Westminster Review until 1907. They entertained literati and served the medical needs of the British expatriate community, concentrating on women's complaints. In 1888 he and Hannah lived at 46 avenue Kléber. Chapman's office was at 224 rue de Rivoli, 'above Galignani's, looking across the Tuileries Gardens' (Haight, 117).[1] April 10 last stating that Mrs. Chapman, widow of the former editor of the Westminster R ev iew, was early this year received into the Hammersmith Workhouse. Mrs. Chapman is eightytwo years of age, a cultivated woman, a devoted follower of Mill, Spencer, and Huxley, and the last survivor of a distinguished circle. Her case is one peculiarly deserving of sympathy. Apparently the poor lady is not eligible for admission to a home because she is an Agnostic. We have not heard whether Mrs. Cobden Sanderson has arranged to receive subscriptions, but our correspondent informs us he is quite willing to contribute his mite.[2]
