Feminist Review Feminist Review is a peer-reviewed academic journal focusing on feminist theory, activism, cultural analysis, and intersectional critique. Founded in 1979, the journal has engaged debates across feminist movements, collaborating with scholars, activists, and institutions to examine gender, race, class, and sexuality through interdisciplinary lenses. Its pages have connected debates involving figures, organizations, and events across the United Kingdom, the United States, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Feminist Review emerged amid the late 1970s and early 1980s feminist mobilizations alongside National Women's Conference (1977), Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, Women’s Liberation Movement, and academic initiatives such as Women’s Studies Association (UK), Feminist Studies (journal), Signs (journal), and Gender & Society. Early editorial networks linked to activists and scholars associated with GLF (Gay Liberation Front), Sisterhood Is Powerful-era collectives, and university departments at University of London, Goldsmiths, University of London, University of Manchester, University of Birmingham, and University of Glasgow. Contributors and interlocutors have included scholars affiliated with London School of Economics, Somerville College, Oxford, Newnham College, Cambridge, and transnational research centers such as Sociology of Gender Research Network and European Feminist Research Institute. The journal responded to contemporaneous events such as the Thatcherism era debates, the Miners' Strike (1984–85), the Poll Tax riots, and international conferences including UN Women precursor meetings and the Beijing Platform for Action context.
Feminist Review publishes theoretical and empirical work engaging intersections among actors and institutions like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Women for Women International, UNICEF, and World Bank gender programs. It aims to bring into dialogue scholarship from scholars linked to bell hooks, Judith Butler, Angela Davis, Patricia Hill Collins, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, and community organizers associated with Black Panther Party, Mujeres Libres, and Solidarity (Poland). The scope spans analyses related to legal frameworks such as Equality Act 2010, international accords like the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and policy arenas influenced by actors like European Commission, United Nations Development Programme, and national ministries of health and welfare in states including United Kingdom, United States, India, South Africa, and Brazil. The journal foregrounds feminist methodologies linking to scholars from University of California, Berkeley, Columbia University, University of Michigan, University of Toronto, Australian National University, and regional centers such as Instituto de Estudios de la Mujer (Spain).
Feminist Review appears in print and online in issues distributed through academic publishers including Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, and library distributors like JSTOR, Project MUSE, and EBSCOhost.

Notable pieces have addressed topics resonant with events and movements including the AIDS epidemic, Me Too movement, Black Lives Matter, Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, Second-wave feminism, and debates around reproductive rights and case law such as Roe v. Wade. Special issues have focused on themes tied to scholarship by figures like Sara Ahmed, Rosi Braidotti, Nancy Fraser, Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Lila Abu-Lughod, and Sylvia Walby, and have involved contributors from think tanks including Institute of Development Studies, International Crisis Group, and cultural institutions such as Tate Modern and Museum of London.
