13th Moon

13th Moon is an American feminist literary magazine founded in 1973 by Ellen Marie Bissert. The magazine showcased short fiction stories, essays, and reviews by women authors. The publication featured prominent figures such as Adrienne Rich, Eve Merriam, Marge Piercy, Rochelle Owens, and Audre Lorde. The magazine's website explains their main intentions with the publication: "Because the surrounding culture has tended to erase women writers from history, our work has needed rediscovery and preservation anew for each generation. Those differences which have characterized women's writing in traditional modes have often been either ignored or erased as defects or failures, rather than understood as distinctive values.
