History
As part of the now-defunct Tulsa Center for the Study of Women's Literature, the journal was founded in 1982 at the University of Tulsa by Germaine Greer, founding editor. Greer's purpose for the journal was to begin "the rehabilitation of women's literary history." TSWL was the first journal devoted entirely to women's and feminist literature. Following Germaine Greer’s tenure, Shari Benstock (1983-1986). Mary O’Toole (1986-1988), and Holly Laird (1988-2005) each served as the journal’s editor. Laura Stevens has held the editorship since 2005.
