Women: A Journal of Liberation was a North American women's journal based on second-wave feminism. The journal was created in 1968 by Dee Ann Mims, Donna Keck, Vicki Pollard, and Carmen Arbona in Baltimore, Maryland after attending one of the first Women's Liberation Conferences. Citing a gap in the market for a national feminist publication and a need for a communications network for the second-wave feminist movement, the four got to work. The first issue was published in August 1969.[1][2][3]
Beginning as a quarterly publication, the journal reduced its prints to three per year, cycling a collective of volunteer contributors of 9-15 for each issue. By the end, over 100 individuals had contributed to the periodical.[1]
3,000 copies of the first issue were printed, reaching 20,000 in its peak,[1] considering it a popular alternative press magazines for its time.
