ABOUT THIS BOOK
Decades before computers and social media, print periodicals were fiery sites of debate, experimentation, and knowledge-making at the heart of the women’s movement. Scrappy, glossy, refined, coarse, they traveled widely, circulating ideas and building solidarity across borders. This book gathers fifty-nine of them, from Argentina to Zimbabwe and beyond—a small fraction of an explosive print culture propelled as much by analog technologies as by the energy of the streets.
Magazines, journals, newsletters, bulletins—no two are alike. Presented with full-color reproductions, concise texts, and in-depth captions, they offer glimpses into a multiplicity of editorial and design tactics; proof that there are as many approaches to feminist publishing as there are feminisms. An essential resource for designers, historians, and anyone interested in visual culture.
