title: Write on, woman!: A writers' & artists guide to women's alternate press periodicals
author: Lynne D Shapiro
description: "This second edition of Write On, Woman! is for you if you are a woman who wants to publish in women's alternative press periodicals -- magazines, journals, and newspapers...This edition gives the editorial policies and readership of 78 periodicals who returned my questionnaire from May through July, 1978." For current readership, this is a great historical reference. Some of these are still publishing. Most of them were vital links covering important information for women in a time when the "major" journals did little to discuss women's issues.

  or encountered difficulties getting her work published, this, too, reflected a
  distinction accorded to books written by women.
  
  Whether praised as “the eleventh muse” (Hrotsvit of Gandersheim) or criticized
  as a “hyena in petticoats” (Mary Wollstonecraft), women authors get noticed.
  Women in Print editions focus on the impact of the imprint in its original
  form and offer fresh insights into the publication and reception of boo
