About 

IMG_1817.PNG

Feminist Spaces is an international journal of women's, gender, and sexuality studies that invites students, faculty, artists, activists, and independent scholars from institutions worldwide to submit formal essays, creative writing, and multimodal artistic pieces per our annual Call for Works. The online journal is published by the Department of English at the University of West Florida and designed by the Department of Art and Design at the University of West Florida.

Originally established in March 2014, Feminist Spaces emerged as the brainchild of the Women's Studies Collective at the University of West Florida. The student-run organization successfully published six issues of Feminist Spaces and hosted 17 annual Women’s Studies Conferences with notable keynote speakers such as Angela Davis, Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling, and Andrea Gibson. 

Following a four-year publishing hiatus, Feminist Spaces was officially relaunched and rebranded in January 2021 by a team of graduate students in the UWF English department. After a year of hacking passwords, meeting via Zoom, and digging through ancient editorial files, our editorial team is proud to present the newest installment and digital facelift of Feminist Spaces
