Outwrite (Newspaper, 1982-1988)

Outwrite newspaper, produced by a collective of women throughout the 1980s, was dedicated to offering news by women, for women. Self-defined as an ‘internationlist feminist’ publication, the paper focused on ‘the development of feminism worldwide’ and an examination of women’s oppressions ‘in the context of imperialism, racism and class divisions.’

Liberation struggles in El Salvador, South Africa and Palestine, as well
as local campaigns including those of the Southall Black Sisters, Sari
Squad and the King’s Cross Women’s Centre were regularly featured in Outwrite’s monthly reports.

The transnational community Outwrite envisioned and embodied resonates powerfully with the social justice struggles of today.
