Date: July 1976
Description: This is the final issue of the lesbian feminist newspaper Lavendar Woman. Publications of Lavendar Woman typically included articles on lesbian and feminist issues, illustrations, interviews, news, and poems, with a particular focus on arts and culture. This issue contains articles about women and lesbians in the arts, poetry and fictional writing, information about other feminist lesbian periodicals, and news coverage of a recent presentation held in New York City and sponsored by the International Tribunal on Crimes Against Women. Interestingly, the creators of this issue explain their reasons for discontinuing the publication, stating "it's time to face the fact that we're dying" (p. 1). They explain the lack of staff, time, and energy required to continue to produce the newspaper, and describe being "out of touch" with the lesbian feminist identity and movement.
