Submit a Manuscript
The NWSA Journal, the peer-reviewed
publication of the National Women’s Studies Association, is committed to
providing a forum in which the research of feminist scholars, both
established and new, results in critical dialogue. We invite submissions in
all areas relating to Women’s Studies. Critical essays, reviews, archives,
and reports that engage in a feminist perspective will also be considered.
We seek submissions on topics such as:
Feminist
pedagogy / Feminist theory and research methodologies, including global
feminism / Gender, place, and culture / Women and science / Women and religion, including fundamentalism
/ Women, girls, and education / Ecology, ecofeminism, health and the
environment / Feminist generations: the future of feminism, young
feminists, children / Post-colonial studies /Women and the arts / Women
writers: autobiographies and reflexive writings / Race, class, sexualities,
and gender intersections / Women and the media /Women and disabilities / Women’s history / Immigration
Please be aware that we will not consider materials that are sent simultaneously to other journals for their publication consideration. If you feel that the NWSA Journal is the appropriate place for your manuscript, please refrain from submitting the article elsewhere until you have a response from us.
Submissions

1) Three copies (two hard copies and one electronic copy) should be sent to the NWSAJ office. The electronic copy should be sent to: nwsaj@lsu.edu. All manuscripts should be double spaced. Hard copies should be on standard U.S. paper (8 1/2 x 11), and electronic copies should be saved in Word or Rich Text Format (rtf).
