History and profile

Vindicación Feminista was founded by Lidia Falcón and Carmen Alcalde in 1976.^[2] The first issue of the monthly magazine appeared in July that year.^[1] Both founders also served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine of which the contributors were all women journalists.^[2] They were the advocates of the radical and gendered activism and adopted the view of Kate Millett: the personal is political.^[1][2] The magazine was a supporter of abortion and harshly criticised and ridiculed Telva, a women's magazine which opposed the legalization of abortion.^[3]

Although the magazine was the illustrative feminist publication for the transition period,^[4] it ceased publication in December 1979 after producing a total of thirty issues due to financial constraints and lower levels of readership.^[1][2]
