We continue to receive new submissions and encourage
scholars to send their articles for consideration. WAJ guidelines
for contributors and subscription information can be found on our website,

Published semiannually—May and November—since 1980,
Woman's Art Journal continues to represent the interests of women
and art worldwide. Our articles and reviews cover all areas of women in
the visual arts, from antiquity to the present day. Each issue presents
current research on a variety of topics, featuring "portraits" of women
artists, "issues and insights," and discerning reviews of recent books and
exhibition catalogues. Each article is well researched and clearly
written. Our authors are international scholars in their fields. A typical
60-page issue contains 20-25 color plates and 25-35 black-and-white
illustrations.
WAJ is indexed on all major art indexes and
bibliographies, and is used as a supplementary text in many university
courses on women and art. The journal is found in university and major
libraries worldwide and in selected museum bookshops, including the
Metropolitan (New York), Philadelphia, and Nelson-Atkins (Kansas City),
and the National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington, D.C.). The full
text is also available in the electronic versions of the Art Index and through JSTOR’s Arts & Sciences III
Collection.
