From the editor:

Dear colleagues,

I’m pleased to announce Feminist Media Histories, a scholarly journal devoted to feminist histories of film, video, audio, and digital technologies across a range of periods and global contexts.  Inter-medial and trans-national in approach, Feminist Media Histories examines the historical role gender has played in varied media technologies, and documents women’s engagement with these media as audiences and users, creators and executives, critics and theorists, technicians and laborers, educators and activists.

Our debut issue is out.  Take a look.
