Feminist-- Periodicals:- .- - -. - A Current Listing of--- Contents 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 wi 11 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 bib1iographi c 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 copyri ghted materi a1 s .) Table of contents pages from current issues of major feminist journals are reproduced in each issue of Femi nist Periodical s , preceded by a comprehensi ve annotated 1isting of a1 1 journals we have selected. As puhl ication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical wi 11 have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of -FP. The annotated listing provides the following infonnation on each journal : 1. Year of fi rst publication. 2. Frequency of pub1 ication. 3. U.S. subscription price(s). 4. Subscripti on address. 5.

Please note that in the actual text, only the numbers 1 to 12 are used to identi fy the different categories of informat ion. ii. Our goal is to have rep'resented in FP a1 l English-language feminist periodicals with a substanti a1 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, 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 into their regular format to facilitate the indexing feminist literature so rely needs.
