ABOUT THIS BOOK

Fem Pub: 1960–1990 showcases circa 60 feminist periodicals from around the world, charting their evolution from the democratization of print to the digital age. With a diverse range of editorial strategies and design aesthetics, each one is presented with full-color reproductions and a text outlining its editorial vision, production methods, team, and struggles. Special attention is given to articles on design topics such as communication, photography, product design, architecture, and urbanism.

A comprehensive directory of feminist magazines makes Fem Pub an essential resource for designers, historians, and anyone interested in feminist publishing. Readers gain a glimpse into the many-layered approaches to feminist editing and visual communication, and the dynamic, collaborative world of feminist publishing.
