Baltimore: Women: A Journal of Liberation, 1972. First Edition. Quarto (27.75cm); illustrated card wrappers, stapled; 72pp; illus. Trivial wear to extremities, else Fine. Well-preserved copy of this key journal, the first national publication of the second wave women's movement. The journal was founded in Baltimore, MD, by four women - Dee Ann Mims, Donna Keck, Vicki Pollard, and Carmen Arbona - with the goal of providing a forum for opinions and expression that were essential to the burgeoning women's movement. The journal was managed by a collective, with each issue focussing on a different theme. The publication ran from 1969-1983, ultimately folding due to reduced readership and financial stress. Contents include contributions by Alice Krakauer, Howard Zinn, Sarah Paretsky, Susan Atkins, Claire Jacobs, Marilyn Becker, and others. (Inventory #: 48840)
