"LTTR is an annual independent gender queer feminist art journal. Each issue is initiated by an open call that is circulated internationally via the world wide web and interpersonally amongst our queer community. The journal is edited by consensus in arduous editorial sessions. We consider each submission independently and in regards to the working themes of the journal."

"Our primary purpose in developing the e-journal was to create a space where the voices of social change can be vocalized, and where silence is transcended into a forceful medium of change. Our hope is that transcending silence… grows increasingly more influential within our academic community, a vehicle of expression for scholar activists from across the spectrum."

"Since 1983 the Women's Review of Books has provided a forum for serious, informed discussion of new writing by and about women. Women’s Review of Books provides a unique perspective on today’s literary landscape and features essays and in-depth reviews of new books by and about women. Women's Review of Books is published by the Wellesley Centers for Women at Wellesley College, in collaboration with Old City Publishing in Philadelphia, PA."

" ... (R)eprints on a quarterly basis the table of contents pages of over 150 magazines and journals, from academic journals such as Signs and Feminist Studies to special interest periodicals on women of color, art, law, health care, lesbian issues, and women around the world. Since many international and grassroots titles are not indexed in standard sources, FEMINIST PERIODICALS is the best key to their contents -- an invaluable aid for researchers scanning the current literature. FEMINIST PERIODICALS is part of a joint subscription with FEMINIST COLLECTIONS and NEW BOOKS ON WOMEN, GENDER, & FEMINISM."
