A new era at Feminist Studies, the same commitments: unabashedly feminist.

Our new beautiful issue is live on Project MUSE now (the preface is open access). Come read work by Lisa McLean, Marie Kruger, Nazia Manzoor, Rosemary Nagy and co-authors, JiHae Koo, Nicole F. Scalissi, Ketaki Pant, Viki Peer, Jamie O'Quinn. muse.jhu.edu/issue/56669

A little sneak peek at the beautiful issue cover:

... and our next issue is dropping in a few days. Stay tuned for new work on maternal activism, The Last of Us, the orna in contemporary Bangladesh, Ana Mendieta, and a book review essay on feminist histories of Indian Ocean capitalism.

We are so proud to announce that the winner of the 2025 Claire Moses Award for the Most Theoretically Innovative Article Published in the Journal is Anja Lind. Lind's article, "“(De)Constructing the Vulva: Locating the Labia in Trans Vaginoplasty," was published in 2024.

Our newest issue is live! Amazing work on fetal loss, reproductive rights, digital misogyny, and the politics of friendship, alongside stunning poetry and art. muse.jhu.edu/issue/56086

Something I love about FS: we're independent. We are self-governed and self-managed, apart from universities. This always seemed important to our identity, but its essential now.

One of my favorite things about Feminist Studies is our commitment to art. We regularly publish art essays with full color spreads of art work (have an idea to pitch us? Please send!) and our covers are stunning. Shout out to Duy-Khuong Van, our graphic designer.

We're sad to miss @theenwsa.bsky.social conference this year - but hope you check out the session on Sun at 1PM on feminist publishing with our friends from @signsjournal.org , @meridians.bsky.social, and more. #feministpublishing
