Historical Note

AFFILIA: Journal of Women and Social Work is a feminist publication that was formed by a group of social workers in 1986 through a collective, voluntary effort. AFFILIA was originally published by The Feminist Press at The City University of New York, but has been published by Sage Publications in Newbury Park since Spring (Volume 3, number 1) of 1988. Beatrice Saunders was the journal’s Founding Editor. Subsequent editors-in-chief have been Betty Sancier, Carol Meyer, Emma Gross, and Miriam Dinerman.
