This article reports findings of a questionnaire survey, conducted in spring 1980, of 26 literary magazines edited by and for women. The information gained is discussed in the context of the little-magazine movement as a whole. Women's little magazines, it is discovered, share the independence of purpose, the commitment to encouraging unknown writers, the financial and publishing instability, and the low circulation figures which typify the general run of little magazines. However, they differ in their group styles of editing, their identification with feminism, the preference they give to women as contributors and subjects, and in their emphasizing of social goals over aesthetic concerns.
