Iconic preview issue of Ms. This landmark feminist publication was "written for all women, everywhere, in every occupation and profession - women with deep, diverse ambitions, and those who have not yet had a chance to formulate ambition - women who are wives, mothers, and grandmothers, or none of these - women who want to be fully a female person and proud of it. In brief, women who want to humanize politics, business, education, the arts and sciences... in the home, the community , and the nation." - p113.
