Urania, Nos. 79-84 (1930)

Issues of Urania published in 1930, including Nos. 79-80 (Jan-Apr), Nos. 81-82 (May-Aug), and Nos. 83-84 (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 feminism and femininity (with particular interest in Japan), gender essentialism, critiques of the marriage institution, women's involvement in athletics and politics, and crossdressing.
