Branching Out (magazine)

Branching Out: Canadian Magazine for Women was the first national second-wave Canadian feminist magazine, published from 1973-1980. Founded by Susan McMaster in Edmonton, Alberta, and later edited by Sharon Batt, it featured women's fiction, poetry, visual art, political and human-interest articles, legal advice, and Canadian women's history.[1] A non-commercial publication, it was published by the New Women's Magazine Society, and put out between 4 and 6 issues a year, staffed entirely by volunteers.[2] At its peak it had 2 500 subscribers and a total circulation of 4 000, and notable contributors included Margaret Atwood, Margaret Laurence, Dorothy Livesay, and Susan Musgrave.[3]
