Room is Canada’s oldest literary journal by and about women. Since its inception in 1977 (as Room of One’s Own), the magazine has been run by a volunteer collective of women who believe the publishing landscape needs a space that reflects women’s strength, sensuality, vulnerability, and wit. Each issue brings together fiction, interviews, art, poetry, reviews, and essays that form a dialogue on the female experience, with works by writers and artists such as Carol Shields, Joan Givner, Eleanor Wachtel, Susan Point, Nancy Lee, and Frances Itani. Submissions and subscriptions: Box 46160 Stn. D, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6J 5G5. Email: [email protected] Website: www.roommagazine.com
