1972/73 Coming Out

From the first issue’s editorial: “This paper will be a monthly publication put out by all interested women of the Oberlin community. We are Coming Out and coming together. Each of us has been isolated in a variety of ways. Some of us have been isolated as a result of our limited college orientation. We have a lot to gain by addressing ourselves to larger issues. Others of us are isolated as housewives or working women who have limited knowledge of other women’s struggles. All of us are isolated as women who have a lot of share with one another. We are Coming Out of passive acceptance of our sex-roles in all aspects of our lives, economically, socially, legally, psychologically…Only working together can we hope to deal with our oppression…Come Out!
