Womankind by Cheryl
R. Ganz and the CWLU Herstory Editorial Committee
The Chicago
Women's Liberation Union (CWLU) designed Womankind newspaper
as an outreach publication to spread the ideas of women's liberation,
to reflect the political direction of the Union, and to increase awareness
of CWLU projects. Published on a monthly basis from 1971-1973, Womankind
was one way that people could become familiar with the CWLU
The subscription
rate was $4 per year or 25¢ per issue. The publication was available
at women's centers, bookstores, and women's events. It was sometimes
sold on the street as well.
Copies
of Womankind are available for viewing at the Chicago Historical
Society and Northwestern University Library's Special Collections
Department as well as on microfilm at the Library of Congress.

Cheryl R. Ganz indexed and archived CWLU documents while working
as a research assistant for Margaret "Peg" Strobel, a professor
of Women's Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Cheryl's
contribution to the CWLU Herstory Website Project has been incalculable.
