Distaff Photograph Collection
Description
This Photograph Collection consists of 200 black and white and some color photographs that were created for the purpose of publication in Distaff, the first and only feminist newspaper published in New Orleans. Distaff was founded in 1972 and served as a forum for women's voices in politics, activism, and the arts. One of the few newspapers published by and for women in the Gulf South, Distaff covered a wide range of topics and issues, including reproductive rights, pay equity and women’s rights in the workplace, lesbian activism, the Equal Rights Amendment, literature and the arts, and women in politics. Issues were edited and produced by a coalition of New Orleans women known for their activism in political spheres. A preview issue was published in 1973 and the newspaper continued to be published until 1982. There was a hiatus in publication from 1976-1978.
Access to Newcomb Archives and Vorhoff Library Special Collections' complete collection of digitized issues of Distaff can be found in the Tulane University Digital Library (TUDL): https://digitallibrary.tulane.edu/islandora/object/tulane%3Adistaff. All images actually published in Distaff that appear in this online collection will include a link to the corresponding page located in TUDL.
