Urania, Nos. 67-72 (1928)

Issues of Urania published in 1928, including Nos. 67-68 (Jan-Apr), Nos. 69-70 (May-Aug), and Nos. 71-72 (Sep-Dec). Urania was a privately circulated feminist journal published in England from 1916-1940. The journal's foundational philosophy revolved around the abolition of gender, as the founders believed true feminist liberation could not be realized within a binary gender system.

These issues include poetry and articles on political and cultural change in Japan, celibacy and birth control, and religion as a way to investigate the gender binary. Included also is an extended article on various historical figures who were assigned female at birth and presented as male, though the writer uses their given, feminine names.
