TRIVIA: A Journal of Ideas was born in 1982 out of a group of women thinkers and writers in western Massachusetts who met every other week to discuss literature and philosophy in a feminist context. Publishing essays, translations, reviews, and experimental writing, it quickly acquired a reputation as a home for serious and embodied feminist thought. It went on to become an international, award-winning publication that endured for over a decade. Though often in dialogue with current events, much of the writing in TRIVIA is ageless and marked by radical energy and vision. 

Archives/Back issues of Trivia: A Journal of Ideas are available at $8.00 each, including postage and handling. Discounts are available for multiple issues. Issues #1 and #2 are out of print, but articles can be copied and mailed for a fee. To inquire or order contact lweil22@gmail.com.
