Connexions

Introduction

Connexions was an international second wave feminist magazine that arose from a reader titled Second Class, Working Class. This parent publication began in Oakland, CA by an editorial collective including Cecilia Brunazzi, Linda Fogel, and Gladys Diaz and printed at Up Press in November 1979. In the early 1980s, as an international spotlight on women's rights issues grew and conservative President Ronald Reagan was elected to office in the United States, the former editor of Second Class, Working Class began Connexions with the intention of creating "a journal of translation, by, for, and about women." From May 1981 to January 1995, 47 issues of Connexions were published. Significant for its illumination of feminist praxis in the developing world and its potential for working within an international women's movement across national borders, Connexions remains an under examined periodical in scholarly study. This developing digital archive of collected issues hopes to inspire inquiry into Connexions and its larger role in feminist print history.
