Branching Bolt - Archenemy

Branching Out is a Canadian magazine created by Susan McMaster in 1972 and published by the New Women's Magazine Society. It aligns with the second wave feminist movement. Its mission was to provide a platform for female intellectual and artistic production. It is part of the women in print movement, which contributed to women's liberation. The periodical received support from the Alberta Law Foundation and featured advertisements for the Alberta Women's Bureau, a government organization. At its height, the magazine had about 2500 subscribers with 1500 retail copies distributed per issue which was a significant feat for Canadian alternative press at the time. In 2019, "University of Alberta doctoral student Tessa Jordan," published the book Feminist Acts: Branching Out Magazine and the Making of Canadian Feminism, contributing to Branching Out's notability as a significant entity in Canadian feminist studies. The magazine is also a part of the Alberta Women's Memory Project.
