Feminist Studies is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering women's studies that was established in 1972. It is an independent nonprofit publication housed at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. Besides scholarly articles, the journal also publishes creative writing (poetry, fiction, and memoirs), artwork and art essays, book reviews, political and social commentaries, interviews, and activist reports.

The journal was established in 1972 in New York City by feminist academics and activists who were committed to creating a scholarly journal with high standards and community relevance. This feminist network believed that the women's movement needed an analytic forum to engage the issues raised by the movement and to bring together the contributions of feminist activists and scholars. Dr. Claire Goldberg Moses, professor emerita of women's studies at the University of Maryland, [1] was the journal's editorial director for over three decades, running it alongside a collective of scholars in multiple disciplines and locations. [2] The journal continues to be edited by a collective, with Ashwini Tambe now at its helm. [3]
Feminist Studies remains a significant academic resource, shaping feminist thought and practice since its conception. It has and continues to be widely referenced in humanities studies. The journal has contributed to public discourse, activism, gender and liberal studies in general. [4] [5] The periodical has created platforms for women and provided opportunities to scholars, artists and activists. Feminist Studies is one of the oldest and longest running feminist periodicals in history. [6] [7]
