Urania, Nos. 25-30 (1921)

Issues of Urania published in 1921, including Nos. 25-26 (Jan-Apr), Nos. 27-28 (May-Aug), and Nos. 29-30 (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 include discussions of sexual celibacy, educational reform, crossdressing, and culturally-specific understandings of gender across the globe. Included also is an advertisement for Beatrice the Sixteenth, a post-gender utopian novel by trans author Irene Clyde, who also published in Urania as Thomas Baty.
