Urania, Nos. 73-78 (1929)

Issues of Urania published in 1929, including Nos. 73-74 (Jan-Apr), 75-76 (May-Aug), and 77-78 (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 contain discussions of crossdressing in theater or for employment opportunities, two articles mentioning trans man Victor Barker, a critique of a lesbian novel for having its characters act out traditionally male and female roles, and several articles on feminism and femininity in Japan.
