Description
New Directions for Women was a feminist publication. It was founded in 1975 Paula Kassell was a founding member and it was the first statewide feminist publication in the United States.
The newspaper went national in 1975. The organization was eventually given to Vivian Scheinmann then Phyllis Kriegal. During the 80s, politics however created a decline for feminist newspapers. The Supreme Court decision in 1989 that allowed states to restrict abortion rights ignited their publication, though.
