WSQ: Women's Studies Quarterly is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of emerging perspectives on women, gender, and sexuality. The journal began in 1972 as Women's Studies Newsletter and was renamed Women's Studies Quarterly in 1981. It is published by The Feminist Press at the City University of New York.
A subset of the journal's back files are freely available here on CUNY Academic Works. More recent volumes are available directly from The Feminist Press and via library databases (check your library's holdings).
