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]
