Urania, Nos. 43-48 (1924)

Issues of Urania published in 1924, including Nos. 43-44 (Jan-Apr), Nos. 45-46 (May-Aug), and Nos. 47-48 (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 female impersonation theatre, birth rates across the world, instances of matriarchal societies in history, people who have transitioned in public life, and feminism and femininity in China, and Korea, and India. Several articles are written in French.
