Urania, Nos. 121-126 (1937)

Issues of Urania published in 1937, including Nos. 121-122 (Jan-Apr), Nos. 123-124 (May-Aug), and Nos. 125-126 (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 fascism and pacifism in relation to gender roles, intersex people and identity, women's employment, the relationship between science and religion, and feminism and femininity in Japan, India, and China. Included also are obituaries for Urania supporter Arthur St. John and editor Esther Roper, mentioning her character, politics, and relationship with co-editor Eva Gore-Booth.
