List of women's presses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of publishers dedicated either wholly or to a significant degree to publishing material written for, by, or about women. Many of them started during the " second wave" of feminism. The focus of this list is not on publishers which market to women, but on publishers who have a stated commitment to publishing feminist and other women's studies texts.
This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
