Janus

A well-known feminist fanzine. Later named Aurora.

Jeanne Gomoll says of Janus:

Janus, the fanzine I worked on in the '70s (and later became Aurora), was one of the most well-known zines of the time, and only the second feminist SF zine ever to be published. (The first was Amanda Bankier's short-lived The Witch and the Chameleon.) Janus earned three Hugo nominations and raised a hue and cry for suspected, vile, "block voting." People--it was alleged--were voting based on their interests and politics, and if Janus hadn't been feminist-oriented, it wouldn't have been nominated for a Hugo. Of course, we didn't agree; there was no conspiracy. But no matter what the reasons were for Janus's Hugo nominations, these slurs and accusations only pointed out the importance of the women's movement in fandom, even in the opinions of its detractors.
