Urania, Nos. 55-60 (1926)

Issues of Urania published in 1926, including Nos. 55-56 (Jan-Apr), Nos. 57-58 (May-Aug), and Nos. 59-60 (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 discussions of feminism and femininities across Europe and Asia, various examples of crossdressing and socially transitioning, and letters to the editors. Included also is an obituary for one of Urania's founders, Eva Gore-Booth, referencing her politics, poetry, personal character, and partnership with co-founder Esther Roper.
