Founded in 1984 by Page Mellish, a former staff member of Women Against Pornography and member of Women Against Pornography and Violence in Media and NOW, Feminists Fighting Pornography was an NYC-based anti-pornography activism group involved in numerous anti-porngraphy marches, demonstrations, and petitions until its dissolution in the late 1990s.

"A Lesbian Sex Magazine"

"Welcome to the world of mistress and slave, where anything goes! You might never leave! B&D at its best, in thrilling words & photos!"

"NAPCRO is the only national, feminist anti-pornography group devoted entirely to passing laws recognizing pornography to be a violation of women's civil rights."

"We call ourselves Feminists Against Pornography to highlight our feminist ideological base and to distinguish ourselves from the right-wing "anti-smut" groups which are also anti-women, anti-sexuality, and anti-erotica. By our name we also want to indicate our non-separatist stance. We welcome the support of men as well as women [...]

We believe that pornography lies about human sexuality. It presents women as masochists who seek pain and abuse, a fantasy of women as willing compliant toys for male pleasure. Men are depicted as sadists and super-studs. Thus, women and men are alienated from their sexuality. We seek to humanize sexuality."

"A women's news journal."

"Entertainment for the adventurous lesbian."

"A journal of woman-to-woman S/M."

Published in Somerville, Massachusetts between 1984 and 1988, Outrageous Women included news and announcements, advertisements for stores and mail-order catalogs selling S/M and leather devices, short stories, erotica, poetry, letters, an advice column, personal advertisements, photographs, and comic strips. Outrageous Women also published a number of articles discussing the relationship between feminism and S/M (including one in the first issue written by founder Betsy Duren); the anti-pornography activism of Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin; and controversies surrounding the refusal of some feminist bookstores to sell Outrageous Women and other sex-positive magazines. One review of the magazine noted the novelty of its multi-racial photography.

"The international magazine for men."

"The Pornography Resource Center is the only organization in the United State serving varied functions of education and action on pornography.

The Center is founded on the fundamental belief that women have the right to equality and freedom. All practices of sexual exploitation and subordination including rape, battery, sexual harassment, incest and child molestation, coerced or forced sex in all contexts, prostitution and pornography deny women's intergrity and sexual self-determination. Only in a world free from these practices will women's full equality be possible.

Acting on this belief, the Center is dedicated to raising public awareness about the damage pornography causes in women's lives and to work toward changing the underlying systems of ineuqality. We seek to dispel the myths created and perpetuated by pornography, and to empower women to fight back against the harm they suffer because of pornogrpahy. Our work closely parallels struggles against rape, battery, and child sexual abuse. Professionals and activists in these areas have been involved in Center organizing from the beginning."

"The editors of Sapphic Touch feel that pornography is a theory, practice, industry, and institution that harms women. In love and anger, we dedicate this volume to the healing and transformation of all who have been hurt by pornography"

Founded in 1979 by Susan Brownmiller and others, Women AgainstPornography sought to educate men and women about what it saw as the essence of pornography: the degradation, objectification, and brutalization of women. To this end it offered slide shows and lectures, maintained a referral service for victims of sexual exploitation, compiled statistics, organized protests, and sponsored tours of New York City's Times Square area. WAP was disbanded in 1990.

"Women Against Violence Against Women is an activist organization working to stop the gratutitous use of images of physical and sexual violence against women in mass media -- and the real-world violence it promotes -- through public education, consciousness-raising, and mass consumer action.

WAVAW was born of the outrage of feminist and other groups at the sex-violence, racist film Snuff, which appeared in March 1976. As an ad hoc coalition WAVAW protested both the film itself and the advertisement for it, whih claimed that the murder and mutilation of a woman was entertaining. Our action resulted in the film being withdrawn from Southern California one week after it opened."

"We are a group of Bay Area (California) feminists who have been meeting because we share a common concern about the prevalence of violence against women. Our primary focus is on the relationship between such violence and the image of women in the media, particularly in pornography. The group evolved out of a Confereence on Violence Against Women which was sponsored by San Francisco Women's Centers and San Francisco State Univeristy in December of 1976."
