Call for Papers

A collection of women’s and girls’ periodicals, Femorabilia comprises 
two-thousand British publications (and more than ninety titles) from 
every decade of the twentieth century. Femorabilia will be available to 
view in a hands-on study session.

The collection includes an extensive wartime run of Picturegoer and a 
run of Girls’ Crystal from 1950-1952 as well as bound volumes of the 
first two years of Bunty (1958), the first year of Girl (1951) and the 
first 6 months of Peg’s Paper (1919). Other highlights are Diana, Judy, 
June from the 1960s and their older counter parts Mirabelle, Romeo and 
Valentine.  We have a full run of Misty (1978), the first two years of 
Just 17 (1983) and selections of Photo Love (1979), Blue Jeans (1977) 
and My Guy (1985).

The study session will be followed by a symposium.  For the symposium, 
we welcome proposals for 20 minute presentations on topics including but 
not limited to:

•       Individual magazines and comics
•       Specific stories, features, artists and writers
•       Publishers and twentieth-century reading for young adults
•       Childhood, girlhood, women’s culture and the diversity of 
readerships
•       Cultural practices associated with magazines (e.g. play, 
collecting, readers’ contributions, dress-up dolls)
•       Reading for pleasure
•       Comparative research projects on popular culture

Submit proposals of 250 words and a short biographical note to Catherine
