Description

Ms: The New Magazine for Women (Preview Issue).    The iconic preview issue of Ms.appeared on Newsstands was  January 1, 1972.   The goddess Kali is the cover image. 


This PREVIEW issue is much rarer than even the first issue. It was a limited test run in January 1972 to put on newsstands to see if there was interest for this reporting. It sold out of its limited issues in mere hours.


Therefore this is real History!

In brief, women who want to humanize politics, business, education, the arts, and sciences. in the home, the community, and the nation.


Cover art by Miriam Wosk [1947-2010] depicts a frantic eight-armed pregnant woman struggling to satisfy the many demands of her work, marriage, and motherhood.
