Feminist
Periodicals
A current listing ofcontents
Volume 20, Number 3 Fall2000
Periodical literature is the cutting edge ofwomen's scholarship, feminist theory, and much ofwomen's culture.
Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contants is published by the Office of the University of Wisconsin
System Women's Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing public awareness of
feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader
abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum offeminist
periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to ajournal
or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the
limitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials.)
Table ofcontents pages from current issues ofmajor feminist journals are reproduced in each issue of Feminist
Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publication
schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue
of FP. The annotated listing provides the following information on each journal:
1. Year of first publication.
2. Frequency of publication.
3. U.S. subscription price(s).
4. Subscription address.
5. Current editor.
6. Editorial address (if different from subscription address).
7. International Standard Serials Number (ISSN).
8. OCLC, Inc. Control Number.
9. Locations where the journal is held in the UW System.
10. PUblications in which the journal is indexed.
11. Fulltext products in which publication appears.
12. Subject focus/statement of purpose of the journal.
Please note that in the actual text, only the numbers 1 to 12 are used to identify the different categories of
information.
Our goal is to have represented in FP all English·language feminist periodicals with a substantial national or
regional readership, with an emphasis on scholarly journals and small press offerings. We do not include
publications which, though feminist in philosophy, do not focus solely on women's issues. Nor, with few
exceptions, dowe inclUde newsstand magazines. We are also forced to omit periodicalswhich lack a complete
table of contents. We encourage feminist serials to build a fUll table of contents into their regular format to
facilitate the indexing feminist literature sorely needs.
