The feminist periodical was produced between 1975 and 1992 in New York City, published by Cynthia Navaretta and edited by Judy Seigel along with a group of volunteer writers, photographers, and graphic designers. Its task was to spread information related to art, feminism, and gender issues among a community of women artists. Contents include articles, interviews, book reviews, museum-, gallery- and events listings, registrations of conferences et al. Among the numerous contributors are Lucy Lippard, Nancy Spero, Joan Semmel, Susan Menso, Miriam Schapiro, Sylvia Sleigh, Judy Seigel, Susan Schwalb, and Lil Picard, many of whom were also affiliated with the feminist collective/magazine Heresies, and with A.I.R., the first all female artists cooperative gallery in the United States. These early issues provide valuable insight into a vibrant period in the history of Feminism and Art. (total 14)
