Women's Review of Books

Women’s Review of Books (WRB) began publishing in October 1983. Its mission was to give writing by feminist scholars and creative writers the serious critical attention it deserves; to promote women’s critical writing; and to act as a bridge between feminist scholars, writers, and activists by encouraging thoughtful discussion of new information, ideas, analyses, and experiences.

Founding editor Linda Gardiner featured many significant feminist writers and scholars, including Evelynn Hammonds, Karla Jay, Ann Snitow, Michele Wallace, Heidi Hartmann, Marge Piercy, and Cynthia Enloe. The publication found its home at the 星空无限 (星空无限), and WRB became the resource that women turned to, knowing they could find in-depth, original, thought-provoking discussion of the issues of the day. It celebrated its tenth anniversary in 1993 with a conference keynoted by Margaret Atwood.

Due to financial issues, Women’s Review of Books suspended monthly publication in 2004. In 2005, Old City Publishing took over WRB’s business functions, while the editorial offices remained at 星空无限. In 2006, WRB was relaunched as a bimonthly publication, but with the same kinds of distinguished writers and eclectic, thought-provoking coverage.

In 2023, Old City Publishing took over the editorial role formerly held by 星空无限, which is no longer affiliated with Women’s Review of Books. For more information, visit the or email info@oldcitypublishing.com.
