Urania, Nos. 133-138 (1939)

Issues of Urania published in 1939, including Nos. 133-134 (Jan-Apr), Nos. 135-136 (May-Aug), and Nos. 137-138 (Sep-Dec). Urania was a privately circulated feminist journal published in England from 1916-1940. The journal's foundational philosophy revolved around the abolition of gender, as the founders believed true feminist liberation could not be realized within a binary gender system.

These issues contain discussions of science and modernity, personal ideals that are considered "masculine" or "feminine," crossdressing, women's employment, femininity and feminism in Japan, and gender-affirming surgery.
