Urania, Nos. 19-24 (1920)

Issues of Urania published in 1920, including No, 19 (Jan-Feb), No. 20 (Mar-Apr), No. 21 (May-Jun), No. 22 (Jul-August), No.23 (Sep-Oct), and No. 24 (Nov-Dec). Urania was a privately circulated feminist journal published in England from 1916-1940. The journal's foundational philosophy revolved around the abolition of gender, as the founders believed true feminist liberation could not be realized within a binary gender system.

These issues discuss pacifism in connection to gender identity, the history and contemporary state of global feminist movements, and educational reform (especially the adoption of co-education). Several pages are devoted to ideas of femininity in Japan and Turkey.
