Abstract: This analysis of twelve black magazines and journals and six black newspapers shows that positive coverage of the women's movement occurred across a wide spectrum of black periodicals from 1968 through 1973. Although criticism and ridicule of feminism existed in black print media, the periodicals in this study published dozens of editorials, essays, and articles that supported feminist principles of political, economic, and social equality for women. Black newspapers also published numerous notices of feminist meetings and events followed by news accounts ofthem, which documented black women's interest and participation in the women's movement. Eighty of the 216 articles contained positive statements about the women's movement, sixty articles publicized feminist events, and fifty-six articles had negative statements about the movement.
