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.

Eight tabloid-format issues. Newsprint, illustrated throughout with line drawings, halftone photography, or graphic design elements. All issues folded as issued. An archive from the early years of Off Our Backs, one of the longest-running feminist periodicals of the 20th century and a key platform for the radical second wave. Launched in 1970 by a feminist collective based in Washington, D.C., the paper quickly emerged as a cornerstone of the women's liberation movement, offering grassroots reporting, Marxist and radical feminist analysis, and coverage of global feminist struggles often excluded from mainstream or even liberal feminist publications.

Issue focused on oppression and US influence abroad, featuring articles on the Vietnam War.

An issue with articles on the Maryland Women's Caucus and on women's studies.

"Survival-Women in Danger" issue focused on women's labor and capitalism, featuring street-level reporting on working conditions and systemic abuse.

Articles include "The Muses of Olivia: Our Own Economy, Our Own Song" about Olivia Records and queer cultural autonomy; also includes prison reform commentary and reviews of feminist publications. Overall intact and well-preserved for newsprint of this age. The publication's mix of essays, satirical art, poetry, serialized fiction, and reportage exemplifies how Off Our Backs served as a feminist counterpublic. Clean and complete, in good condition.
