Description: Somerville, MA, Outrageous Women, Publisher. Wraps. 1984-1986. Side stapled journals, 8 ½ by 11 inches. Pagination varies. Some photos and illustrations throughout each. Outrageous Women was founded by the editors Betsy Duren, Beryl Hoffstein, Beth and Diamond (last two names aliases) after meeting at a Boston support group for lesbian and bisexual women interested in S/M, Urania. The magazine constantly struggled with financing and finances, undergoing a variety of changes of editors through its years in existence. It ceased publication in 1988 with its June issue (Vol. 3 No. 3), with a total of 11 issues published. According to the Hollis Archives at the Harvard library, "interest in the publication continued, and mail from potential subscribers, authors, and other interested parties continued to be sent to the Outrageous Women post office box until 1991. Many subscribers wrote increasingly angry and desperate letters when they did not receive their subscriptions; the dearth of other similar publications is evident in their letters." As the editors wrote in the first issue, "Outrageous Women seeks to provide a safe and lively space in which to discuss, debate, and fantasize. We're open to any woman who is interested in woman-to-woman S/M." The magazine published poetry, erotica, advice columns, news and commentary, as well as a variety of ads for stores, leather devices, etc. Condition ranges from GOOD to VERY GOOD condition. Varying amounts of uneven toning to the paper, with very minor scattered soiling, minor wrinkling and other minor wear. Good .
