Custodial history
The bulk of the collection, including administrative and editorial records, was held by Margaret Phillips and donated to the Archives in spring 2016. Some copies of the Journal were held at the Northern Woman's Bookstore and donated after the closure of the bookstore; others were held by the Gender Issues Centre and donated also in 2016.
Scope and content
Northern Woman Journal began as a newsletter covering feminist issues for readers in Northwestern Ontario, and developed into a journal featuring political stories at the location, provincial, national, and international level, fiction and artwork, personal stories, letters and opinions, and information on local events.
The Journal's creation was closely linked to the community of feminists including Margaret Phillips and the management of the Northern Woman Bookstore.
The records include:
A complete run of the Journal from 1973 to 1995
Administrative records, including meeting minutes, correspondence, and accounting
Editorial records, including graphics and submitted pieces
