Spare Rib was a pioneering feminist magazine published in the UK from 1972 to 1993. It emerged during the second-wave feminist movement, providing a radical and alternative voice that challenged mainstream media representations of women. The magazine covered a wide range of topics, including gender equality, reproductive rights, sexuality, politics, race, and work, often featuring personal stories, investigative journalism, and discussions on feminist theory.
Founded by Rosalind Bailey and Marsha Rowe, Spare Rib was a collective effort, involving numerous contributors who helped shape its identity as a vital platform for women's liberation. It provided a space for diverse feminist perspectives, including debates on issues like intersectionality, LGBTQ+ rights, and the portrayal of women in culture and media.
Despite facing censorship, financial struggles, and internal ideological debates, Spare Rib remained an influential force for over two decades.
