Ms.

Ms. is an American liberal feminist magazine co-founded by second-wave feminist and sociopolitical activist Gloria Steinem. Ms. first appeared in 1971 as an insert in New York magazine. From July 1972 until 1987, it appeared on a monthly basis. It now publishes quarterly.

During its heyday in the 1970s, it enjoyed great popularity but was not always able to reconcile its ideological concerns with commercial considerations.
