Lapis was an Italian language feminist magazine based in Milan, Italy, with the subtitle percorsi della riflessione femminile (paths of female reflection in English).[1] It was in circulation between 1987 and 1997.

History and profile

Lapis was launched in 1987, and the first issue appeared in November that year.[2] The founder was a feminist theorist, Lea Melandri.[3] The magazine was started to document the women's transversal reflections.[2]

The publisher of the magazine changed over time. A company in Milan, Faenza, was the publisher from June 1989.[1] Then the magazine was published on a quarterly basis by a feminist publishing house, Tartaruga, in Milan from March 1993.[1][4] Later the frequency of the magazine was switched to monthly.[5] Lea Melandri was also the director of Lapis from its start to its closing in 1996.[6][7]

Lapis covered a wide variety of topics from women in workforce to their contributions to cultural development.[4] The last issue appeared in December 1996.[1]
