Fighting Woman News was an American feminist periodical founded in December 1975 by Valerie Eads. This newsletter grew out of Eads's regular column in Black Belt Woman . [1] This magazine focused on martial arts, self-defense, and combative sports for and by women. [2] [3] It published news and articles on techniques, workshops, and events. [4] Fighting Woman News also regularly sent representatives to women's conferences to promote self-defense and martial arts literature for women.

Print copies of the magazine sold for $6 for yearly individual subscriptions and $10 for institutions. [5]
