Imagery from ‘70s issues of Spare Rib, a pioneering UK women’s liberation magazine founded by Rosie Boycott (previously of Frendz underground newspaper) and Marsha Rowe.
Spare Rib emerged from the counterculture and borrowed the look of a conventional women’s magazine but filled it with left-leaning feminist and ‘70s New Age wellness content. As the ‘70s evolved it became more punk and a forum for debate among different streams of the movement.
