Urania, Nos. 13-18 (1919)

Issues of Urania published in 1919, including No. 13 (Jan-Feb), No. 14 (Mar-Apr), No. 15 (May-Jun), No. 16 (Jul-Aug), No. 17 (Sep-Oct), and No. 18 (Nov-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 discuss the organization's principles (including varying interpretations of these principles), report on labor and educational reforms, and explore same sex attraction. In the publication's recurring "Star-Dust" section, the editors spotlight women's involvement in medicine, politics, business, and the military, with particular interest in Great Britain and Japan.
