Judy Seigel co-founded the Women Artists News in 1975 with publisher Cynthia Navaretta and founding editors Pat Passlof and Donna Marxer, with design director Susan Schwalb soon joining. Written by and for women artists for more than 17 years, the journal chronicled the creativity, politics, and protests of the Second Wave feminist arts movement battling for recognition in a canon that had all but shut out women.

WAN's 600-plus contributors included Adrian Piper, Cassandra Langer, Faith Ringgold, Joan Semmel, Joyce Kozloff, Lowery Sims, Lucy Lippard, Martha Edelheit, Mary Beth Edelson, May Stevens, and Miriam Schapiro, among many other now-legendary names.

To make this primary source of the feminist art movement more readily accessible today, the Judy Seigel Estate spearheaded a project to digitize all 94 issues including 3,000 articles into fully searchable, downloadable text. Explore the Women Artists News Database.
