New Directions for Women

New Directions for Women

New Directions for Women was an important early feminist newspaper. It began as a mimeographed newsletter in 1972 in New Jersey, but soon expanded into a tabloid-sized quarterly newspaper. It was the first feminist newspaper in the United States. Edited by Paula Kassell of Dover, a member of the Morristown chapter of National Organization for Women (NOW), the paper offered news reports from a feminist perspective as well as book reviews, women's history articles, and editorials. This was five years before Pamela Wilder founded the non-profit in 1977 through the Junior League of Orange County.
