Women’s Review Closing

The Women’s Review of Books is publishing its final issue. It’s closing after losing money since the mid-90s. “The story sounds familiar. It involves shrinking library budgets, increasing costs for printing and postage, and changes in reading habits. The cumulative effect has been to undermine the stability of a journal that was publishing review essays by and about Kathy Acker, Raya Dunayevskaya, Marilyn Hacker, and Adrienne Rich when some of today’s “third wave” feminist scholars were in kindergarten.”
