http://dlib.nyu.edu/findingaids/html/tamwag/tam_751/

The Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives Collection of Women's Rights Serials groups 408 titles broadly relating to women's rights, published between 1907 and 2010, originally received by the Tamiment Library through subscriptions, donations, and as part of archival collections. The majority of the collection consists of incomplete runs of newspapers, newsletters, magazines, and bulletins, with a smaller quantity of one-off reports and catalogs, published by women's rights organizations, encompassing activist networks, research bodies, academic institutions, government agencies, and nonprofits. Many periodicals were created during the height of the women's rights movement in the 1970s and 1980s, and document the early discourse around women's liberation. At a granular level, the serials document the discussions surrounding gender equality, workplace discrimination, sexuality, reproductive rights, and female solidarity.
