Published from 1969 to 1976 in New York City, Aphra: The Feminist Literary Magazine was a quarterly feminist serial, one of the first of its kind. The mission was to develop a platform for women's expression in response to a male dominated literary market. The title Aphra came from Aphra Behn (1640–1689), the first woman to make a living as a writer.[1][2]
The periodical published work from notable feminist authors such as Margaret Atwood, Kate Millet and Alice Walker, providing contemporary and historical social critique through the lens of second-wave feminist theory.[1][3]
Mission Statement
“Free women thinking, doing, being.”[4]
Mandate and Editorial Content
Content followed a general theme from issue to issue, with special issues focusing on more specific topics such as the Spring, 1971 The Whore Issue, from volume 2 number 2, a controversial publication at the time.[1][3]
In addition to short fiction, poetry, art, play excerpts, essays and other writing, was content unique to Aphra. Featuring critique and exposes on the downsides of the women's movement from a feminist perspective, Aphra provided meta-commentary on the second-wave feminist movement itself, offering perspectives that were not present in other radical feminist publications.[1][3]
