The Third Wave, served as a vital platform for feminist dialogue, news, and resources across the state. Created entirely by volunteers, it provided a space for voices from various feminist organizations and individuals, offering insight into issues ranging from domestic violence prevention to civil rights legislation and actions, to LGBTQ+ advocacy.
