Ms. Magazine Archive
This archive provides unprecedented digital access to every issue of the influential feminist magazine, Ms., from its launch in 1972 to the present. Founded by prominent feminists and campaigners, including Gloria Steinem, Ms. sought to bring coverage of issues impacting women to a wider audience through newsstands, bookstores, and subscriptions. It was the first national magazine where women could read about and debate the strategies and obstacles to their freedom. Among the subjects extensively covered are reproductive health, rights and justice, violence against women, sexual harassment and assault, Title IX, women in sports, LGBTQ+ rights, the Equal Rights Amendment, and feminist movements globally. The Ms. Magazine Archive is an essential resource for anyone committed to studying gender issues, social change, and feminist thought. Its articles and features reflect changing attitudes and trends over the decades, making it an indispensable reference for examining the history, progress, and impact of feminist thought and practice in the U.S. and around the world.
