Womanspace (Organization)

Hide Profile

A Boston-based feminist therapy collective, Womanspace began in 1975 and closed in 1981 due to financial problems. It provided counseling, referral and educational services to individual women, couples, families, and groups; held workshops, seminars, and conferences on feminist theory, ethnicity, and racism; was a consultant to agencies and schools; published several bibliographies on the psychology and counseling of women; and provided internships for women in counselor-education programs. It attempted to make psychotherapy accessible to all women through low rates.

First published as The Women's Community Journal in February 1986, the newsletter aimed to be an open forum to discuss issues affecting women's lives, with emphasis on issues concerning the lesbian and gay community. The newsletter was renamed WomanSpace in 1988 and continues to be published for and by the San Antonio women's community.
