The editorial board of Socialist Woman has decided to throw open the pages of the journal to women active in the movement. We hope to generate a discussion around the activities in which feminists are involved. For this issue we invited contributions from the Women Against Racism and Fascism Group and the Women and Ireland Group. We are grateful for their positive response. We hope that other activists will follow this up in our next issue, either with contributions around the articles in this issue or with new areas of struggle. We are also pleased to reprint a press release sent to us from Lesbian Line. In future issues we will encourage articles which take up discussions and activities around the sixth demand of the women's movement for a self-defined sexuality.
