Women & Literature was an American feminist scholarly journal. Janet Margaret Todd, a British academic and author, founded the journal around the 1970s while she was teaching at Rutgers University.[1] Women & Literature wrote about feminist film and literature and sought to support the feminist work of the 1970s.[2] It advertised itself as “a scholarly journal of women writers and the literary treatment of women”.[3] Issues included articles on women writers such as Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and Mary Leadbeater.
