Dedication

This Directory of Women's Media is dedicated to WIFP founder Dr. Donna Allen (1920-1999)
who launched the first edition of the directory in January, 1975.

Martha Leslie Allen, Editor

     This is a directory of media owned and operated primarily by, for and about women. We do not include men's "women's magazines" (magazines directed at women), even if they have a female staff. We do include many academic periodicals which are published by institutions, but only those where women determine content and make up the majority of the staff. If a woman's media feels it fits our definition, we usually include them.

     In the 1970's and '80's, the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press published 15 annual editions of the Directory of Women's Media. The National Council for Research on Women, in New York, published two more editions in the early 1990's. Now, once again, WIFP is publishing of the directory of periodicals, publishers, media organizations, and other media categories. It is available here on the WIFP website with no access charge. Since we are continually updating the Directory, please send us any new entries or changes so we can immediately include them. We want the Directory to be as accurate and as inclusive as possible particularly when we produce our print version of this Directory of Women's Media available.

Your thoughts and ideas are welcome.

The Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press survives by individual contributions and receives no foundation grants. If you find this Directory valuable, and would like to see it continue and expand, please consider a contribution. No contribution is too small. We acknowledge contributions on this website here and on "Our Supporters" page.
