Fighting Woman News was an American feminist periodical founded in December 1975 by Valerie Eads. This newsletter grew out of Eads's regular column in Black Belt Woman.[1] This magazine focused on martial arts, self-defense, and combative sports for and by women.[2][3] It published news and articles on techniques, workshops, and events.[4] Fighting Woman News also regularly sent representatives to women's conferences to promote self-defense and martial arts literature for women.
Print copies of the magazine sold for $6 for yearly individual subscriptions and $10 for institutions.[5]
