Table of Contents for Women and Revolution This search aid to the Riazanov Library digital archive of Women and Revolution was composed by Marty Goodman, director, Riazanov Library Women and Revolution began with the May-June 1971 Issue Number 1, published as a 4 page tabloid size newspaper by members of the Spartacist League in the San Francisco Bay Area. Issues numbers 2 and 3 were eight page long tabloid editions. Each of these first three issues bore the expression "Newspaper of Revolutionary Women's Liberation, Published Bi-Monthly". This incarnation of the periodical survived for only 3 issues. After the May 1972 issue production ceased on the West Coast, and issue No. 4, which came out over a year later, and all subsequent issues, were produced at SL's "center", in New York City. The format changed, too: from a tabloid of 4 or 8 pages, to a journal of 24 or more pages. Production frequency became approximatly bi-annual. And the front page comment of "Newspaper of Revolutionary etc." was changed to "Journal of the Women's Commission of the Sparatcist League". In this form it continued to be published through issue 45, in 1996. At that time the publication of a separate Women's journal ceased. Articles with the heading "Women and Revolution" began to appear in some issues of Spartacist for the next few years, and later articles with the same designation ("Women and Revolution") also appeared in occasional issues of Workers Vanguard, up through to the present (Feb 2011).
