Women: a cultural review explores the role and representation of gender and sexuality in arts and culture, with a particular focus on the contemporary world.

The journal analyses the theory and politics of sexual difference in literature, the media, history, education, law, philosophy, psychoanalysis and the performing and visual arts.

The journal has two Special Issues a year, and one Open Forum. In addition to articles, each issue has a substantial review section and a listings section for new and recent titles in the field of gender and culture. The journal also regularly features interviews with figures who have made particularly significant interventions in current debates about gender and feminism. Articles are invited for Special Issues and the Open Forum from both male and female contributors.
