Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature (TSWL), founded by Germaine Greer in 1982, is devoted to the study of women's literature and women's writing in general. Publishing "articles, notes, research, and reviews of literary, historicist, and theoretical work by established and emerging scholars in the field of women's literature and feminist theory",^[1] it has been described as the "longest-running academic journal focusing exclusively on women's writing".^[2]

About

As part of the now-defunct Tulsa Center for the Study of Women's Literature, the journal was founded in 1982 by Germaine Greer while she was teaching at the University of Tulsa. Greer's purpose for the journal was to begin "the rehabilitation of women's literary history".^[3] Following her tenure, Shari Benstock (1983–1986), Mary O’Toole (1986–1988), Holly Laird (1988–2005), and Laura Stevens (2005-2016) each served as the journal's editor. Jennifer Airey became the editor in 2016.

The distinctive TSWL logo, present from the journal's inaugural issue, is a saxifrage flower, captioned with a quotation from William Turner's Herbal: "The white saxifrage with the indented leafe is moste commended for the breakinge of the stone."^[4]

The journal's editorial and advisory boards include scholars prominent in their fields. Board members include Nina Auerbach, Marilyn Butler, Carol T. Christ, Helen Cooper, Sandra M. Gilbert, Susan Gubar, Peggy Kamuf, and Jane Marcus.^[5]

Stevens explains, "As before, there are different covers for fall and spring, now focused on a variation of the saxifrage.
