Azalea: A Magazine by Third World Lesbians was a quarterly periodical for black, Asian, Latina, and Native American lesbians published between 1977 and 1983[1] by the Salsa Soul Sisters, Third World Wimmin Inc Collective.[2] The Collective also published the Salsa Soul Sisters/Third World Women's Gay-zette (c. 1982).[1][3][4]
Early history
The group formed in 1974, growing out of the Black Lesbian Caucus of the New York City Gay Activists Alliance (GAA).[5]
Content
Rodger Streitmatter, author of Unspeakable: The Rise of the Gay and Lesbian Press in America, notes that the founders of the periodical attempted not to perpetuate oppression and replicate societal biases by refusing to "assess the quality of contributions sent to them, publishing all material without any editing."[6]
The magazine published contributions from Africa, Asia and South America as well as material from the United States.[7]
