The first women's fanzine, which emerged from the 1976 Midamericon panel on women and science fiction. Jeanne Gomoll describes it:
That gathering eventually led to the founding of A Women's Apa, which became one of the most popular apas around for several years. When we kicked men out of AWA, the controversy spilled out of the apa into fanzines, letters, and gossip in general fandom. Eventually, too, British women started their own women-only Women's Periodical, which generated similar controversy in Britain.
