The New Zealand Women's Studies Journal is a biannual peer reviewed academic journal established by the Women's Studies Association. The Journal has a primary, but not exclusive focus on women's studies in New Zealand and the Pacific. It contains articles from a wide range of feminist positions and disciplinary backgrounds. The Editorial Collective encourages papers which address women’s experience, explore gender as a category of analysis, and further feminist theory and debate.
The Women's Studies Journal was established in 1984. From 1996 to 2008 it was published in association with the Otago University Press. From 2008 it has been published on this website and full text articles are available via EBSCO. Back issues are available through PROQUEST.
