Volume One, Number Six -- July 1971

In July, 1971, the women of Women's Press dealt with the topics of aging, rape, Chicana identity and a national YWCA Chicana conference. There was also debate about the merits of articles in the May/June issue that discussed sexism in the "alternative" culture, and a report of the discriminatory working environment experienced by waitresses at a local restaurant. Poetry, instructions for fixing a flat tire, herstory, and a review of Germaine Greer's Female Eunuch rounded out this issue of the paper. As was typical for Women's Press in this era, reprints from other feminist publications were mixed with the original articles and artwork produced by local women.
