Highlights include extensive records of Britain's Committee for Homosexual Equality (CHE) and Scotland's similar Scottish Minority Group, as well as every issue of Gay News, a biweekly national publication for gays, lesbians, and transgender individuals, from its first issue in 1972 through April 1983. The collection also features complete or nearly-complete runs of women's liberation periodicals that span a wide range of ideological orientations, writing styles, and focuses. Socialist Woman was produced by the International Marxist Group, Red Rag by Marxist feminists, Women's Voice by Trotskyite women, and Union of Women for Liberation publications by Maoist women. Several of the mainstream women's periodicals represented in the collection concentrated on news and coalition-building, including Women's Struggle, the journal of Britain's first women's liberation organization; the Women's Report; Banshee, which was written by and for Irish women; and the Scottish Liberation Journal and MSprint, written by and for Scottish women.}, recid = {883682}, pages = {1 online resource (41,600 pages) :}, }
