Peruse her biography:

Later in life Emily Chesley set up the "Speculative Reading Circle for Young Women", which came under much censure for trying to lead the delicate youth of London, Ontario astray.  Top caption reads:  Tell your father it's just about silly novels.  Or better yet, don't tell him anything at all.  Bottom caption:  Sponsored by the Celtic Union of Non-Testosterone Sybarites.
