Journal Descriptions

The *International Journal of Women’s Studies* (IJWS) was a pioneering academic journal dedicated to exploring issues concerning women and gender studies. Published between 1978 and 1985, the journal provided a platform for critical discussions on women’s rights, gender equality, and social justice. It was a vital resource for academics, activists, and scholars interested in feminist theory and the intersectionality of women’s issues worldwide. The journal was published by Eden Press Women’s Publications, based in Montreal, Canada, and was known for its thought-provoking articles and interdisciplinary approach to women’s studies. The *International Journal of Women’s Studies* offered a diverse range of articles covering historical, sociological, psychological, political, and literary perspectives. Scholars from various disciplines contributed to the journal, making it a comprehensive resource for understanding the multifaceted experiences of women. While its primary language was English, the journal also provided summaries in English for broader accessibility. With a publication frequency of five issues per year, it ensured a steady flow of contemporary feminist scholarship and debates during its active years. The journal’s content was relevant not only to academic audiences but also to activists and policymakers interested in promoting gender equity. Indexed in databases such as MEDLINE and PubMed, IJWS was selectively included in these databases, particularly for articles related to the history of medicine. This selective indexing highlights the journal’s relevance to medical and social sciences, especially concerning women’s health and the historical development of gender-specific medical practices. Although not currently indexed for MEDLINE, the journal’s archived content remains an essential resource for historical research on women’s studies. The *International Journal of Women’s Studies* served as a critical space for documenting and analyzing the global women’s movement during a crucial period in feminist history. The late 1970s and early 1980s were marked by significant progress in women’s rights, including the growing visibility of feminist activism and the institutionalization of women’s studies in academia. The journal captured these transformations, providing commentary and research on issues such as workplace discrimination, reproductive rights, gender-based violence, and the representation of women in media and culture. One of the distinguishing features of IJWS was its commitment to an international perspective, ensuring that the voices of women from diverse cultural and geographical backgrounds were represented. This global approach allowed for a richer understanding of how gender issues intersected with race, class, and nationality. By bringing together insights from different parts of the world, the journal fostered cross-cultural dialogue and collaboration among feminist scholars. Although the *International Journal of Women’s Studies* ceased publication in 1985, its contributions to feminist scholarship continue to influence contemporary research in gender studies. The journal’s emphasis on interdisciplinary analysis, combined with its commitment to amplifying women’s voices, laid the groundwork for future publications in the field. For researchers and historians, IJWS remains a valuable source of information on the evolution of feminist thought and the struggles and achievements of women during a transformative era in global history.
