"Conditions" was a pioneering lesbian feminist literary magazine founded in 1977 by a collective that included Elly Bulkin and Cheryl Clarke. It served as a crucial platform for amplifying the voices of lesbian feminists, writers, and activists, focusing on issues of gender, sexuality, race, and class. Known for its commitment to intersectionality, the magazine challenged mainstream feminist thought to be more inclusive, particularly of women of color. Featuring work from influential contributors like Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich, "Conditions" played a significant role in shaping feminist and LGBTQ+ discourse. Though it ceased publication in 1990, its impact on feminist theory and lesbian literary culture endures.
