Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents is published by the Office of the University of Wisconsin System Gmen'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 of feminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a journal 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 materi a1 s .) Table of contents pages from current issues of major feminist journals are reproduced i n each issue of Femi ni st Periodical s , preceded by a comprehensi ve annotated 1isti ng of a1 1 journals we have selected. As publ ication schedul es 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 : Year of first publication. Frequency of publ ication. 1J.S. subscription price(s) . Subscripti on address. Current editor. Editorial address (if different from subscription address). International Standard Seri a1 s Number (ISSN) . 1-i brary of Congress (LC) catalog card number. OCLC, Inc. Control Number. Locations where the journal is held in the UW System. Publications in which the journal is indexed. Subject focusjstatement of purpose of the journal. Please note that in the actual text, only the numbers 1 to 12 are used to identi fy the different categories of information . ii. Our goal is to have represented in FP a1 1 English-language feminist periodicals with a substanti a1 national or regional readership, with an I emphasis on scholarly journals and small press offerings. We do not include I publications which, though feminist in philosophy, do not focus solely on women's issues. Nor, with few exceptions, do we include newsstand magazi nes. We are also forced to omit periodicals which lack a complete table of contents. We encourage feminist serials to build a full table of contents I into their regular format to facilitate the indexing feminist literature so re1y needs.
