NEW YORK: The HERESIES COLLECTIVE, 1979-1985. 

Softcovers, 8.5x11 inches (but for numbers 14 and 15 that are 10x12 inches and side stapled), approximately 100 pages per issue.

All twelve issues are in generally GOOD condition, the covers of a few issues have some rubs; there is some edge, spine end, and corner wear here and there; some spines a sunned; there is foxing to the page edges (page edges of the closed issues); otherwise the issues are complete, bright, clean, clear, and unmarked. A solid, nice run of this hard-to-find feminist publication from the 70s and 80s.

About HERESIES (from Wikipedia):

******HERESIES was a feminist magazine published from 1977 to 1993, organized by a collective known as the Heresies Collective based in New York City. Each of the 27 issues (including the 18/19 double issue) was collectively edited by a group of volunteers interested in a single topic under the guidance of the "mother collective"; each issue had its own style and perspective. Subjects included feminist theory, art, politics, patterns of communication, lesbian art and artists, women's traditional arts and crafts, and politics of aesthetics, violence against women, working women, women from peripheral nations, women and music, sex, film, activism, racism, postmodernism, and coming of age.

The journal was seen not only as a major contribution to the feminist art scene, but as a forum for feminist thinking that experimented with an editorial format that asked contributors to grapple with hierarchical and societal issues of difference. And it created a public discourse in feminist thought and expression. Initial members of the Heresies Collective included Joan Braderman, Mary Beth Edelson, Elizabeth Hess, Ellen Lanyon, Arlene Ladden, Lucy R. Lippard, Marty Pottenger, Miriam Schapiro and May Stevens.******
