Since 1972 WSQ has been an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of emerging perspectives on women, gender, and sexuality. Its thematic, special issues combine psychoanalytic, legal, queer, cultural, technological, and historical work to present the most exciting new scholarship on ideas that engage popular and academic readers alike. The general editors of this peer-reviewed, biannual journal are Victoria Pitts-Taylor and Talia Schaffer at The Graduate Center, CUNY.
Along with scholarship from multiple disciplines, WSQ showcases fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and the visual arts. "Alerts and Provocations" informs readers about immediate political crises affecting women. "Classics Revisited" rereads a major text of women's studies, with a response by the original author. Book reviews inform readers about recent work in the field.
