The Second Wave issues from 1972 through 1976 bring together feminist literary publishing, movement journalism, and political argument at a moment when U.S. feminist discourse surrounding rape, abortion, battered women, childcare, prison, and international women's struggles were of urgent and expanding concern within the women's liberation movement. The four issues present range in contents from "Interview with 2 Vietnamese Women," "Arab Women: The Struggle in Sudan," a poem by Adrienne Rich, photographs by Elsa Dorfman, and "Rape, A Feminist Review of the Elections"; "Battered Lives," "The Abortion Business," fiction and poetry. Founded in 1971, the magazine published reviews, essays, fiction, creative writing, graphics, and political writing while opening its pages both to established writers and to women writing from within the movement's own readership. Archive of 4 issues of The Second Wave: A Magazine of the New Feminism. Comprised of Vol. 2, no. 2 (1972), Vol. 3, no. 3, Vol. 4, no. 2, and Vol. 4, no. 3 (1975-1976). Quarto format softcover magazines. [1] The Second Wave. Vol. 2, no. 2. 1972. [2] The Second Wave. Vol. 3, no. 3. [3] The Second Wave. Vol. 4, no. 2. 1975. [4] The Second Wave. Vol. 4, no. 3. Spring 1976. Across these issues, the publication records the breadth of second-wave feminist print culture not as a single-theme publication but as a forum where literary writing, practical political debate, and international reporting met in the same pages. One opening letter states that "to date the women's movement has specialized in powerlessness," then continues, "we are learning to develop our power in responsible ways, as we must if our movement is to succeed," a formulation that fits the archive's recurring concerns with violence, institutional power, childrearing, prison, sexuality, and movement strategy. The magazine continued until 1983, when lack of funding ended publication, leaving issues such as these as direct evidence of how feminist readers encountered Adrienne Rich, Joan Little, Susan Saxe, abortion clinic politics, Arab and Vietnamese women's testimony, and debates over rape and domestic violence within one small-press periodical network. Light shelfwear, toning, and rubbing to wrappers, with minor edge wear and handling creases; interiors legible with age wear and signs of handling throughout. Overall good condition. This four-issue run offers a concentrated record of feminist editorial practice in the mid-1970s, when literary culture, political organizing, and women-run print networks were being built in the same magazines.

An archive of material belonging to Rosemary Gaffney (??2024). Gaffney lived in the New York City area with her partner, Joyce Vinson; the two were involved in a number of feminist activist organizations including the New York Radical Feminists (NYRF), the National Organization for Women (NOW-NYC), and the Women?s Liberation Center. Gaffney was a performer, involved in filmmaking with Women Make Movies (WMM), and an employee at Mother Courage for the entire duration that the restaurant was in business, from 1972 to 1977. She also collected feminist literature and material from across the country. The collection spans several decades and includes numerous publications, event flyers, and behind-the-scenes notes from feminist groups. It is highlighted by collections of material related to WMM?particularly the 1976 short Healthcaring: From Our End of the Speculum?women?s theater and performance, and women?s health. The film and performing arts material records the efforts women put in to carve out a space for their own work in creative fields that were then disproportionately composed of men, while the women?s health material documents some of the early organizing around issues that arose from the similar underrepresentation of women and their issues in healthcare. Interestingly, the two topics intersect in the archive, particularly in Healthcaring but also in projects like the ?Mental Prisoners Liberation? screening at the Kitchen, which suggests a connection to the psychiatric survivors movement. These materials are of interest to researchers not just of feminist history but also the history of women in film and the arts; working, both in performance and healthcare; and in patient activism. The following description begins with these materials before turning to the remainder of the collection: Other Original and Unpublished Material; NYRF; Women?s Strike for Equality; NOW; The Women?s Liberation Center; Mother Courage Restaurant; Other Events and Organizations; and Other Publications.
