SHREW (London: Women’s Liberation Workshop, October [1970]).

Unnumbered. Broadsheet, folded twice to make 4pp.

Front cover depicts a woman furiously flicking the V-sign, with the headline above reading: “We are Dedicated to Liberating the Minds of Women to a Total Awareness of their Situation in Society”.

Includes contributions from Hackney group member Sheila Rowbotham (on Flora Tristan, and an interview with Jamaican woman ‘Barbara’, her former next door neighbour), and others who, like Rowbotham, are identified in the bylines by their initials only. Shrew was the newsletter of the London Women’s Liberation Workshop, a collectivist federation formed in 1969, and produced in rotation by smaller autonomous groups within the Workshop until 1974 (additional issues appeared sporadically between 1976 and 1978). Publication addresses and formats varied.

Unevenly folded and somewhat creased, o/w Very Good.
