Nova was a British glossy magazine that was published from March 1965[1][2] to October 1975.[1][3] It was described by The Times as "a politically radical, beautifully designed, intellectual women's magazine."[4] Nova covered such once-taboo subjects as abortion, cancer, the birth control pill, race, homosexuality, divorce and royal affairs. It featured stylish and provocative cover images.[1]
