Broadsheet was a monthly New Zealand feminist magazine produced in Auckland from 1972 to 1997.[1] The magazine played a significant part in New Zealand women's activism.[1] It was to become one of the world's longest-lived feminist magazines.[2]
It was co-founded by Anne Else, Sandra Coney, Rosemary Ronald, and Kitty Wishart.[3][4] The magazine was "New Zealand's first feminist magazine focusing on women's issues and information sharing on a national and international level".[5]
The first issue was released in July 1972, and "consisted of twelve foolscap pages – stapled"; 200 copies were produced, which sold out. Before the second issue was published they had 50 paid subscribers.[5]
Māori issues sometimes received considerable coverage in the magazine, which provoked "fierce exchanges in the letters pages".[1]
The magazine is now an important source for the social history of the period, and the entire back catalogue of Broadsheet is available on the University of Auckland website.[6]
