A Brooklyn-based writing group called Seven Women Poets was the genesis for Out & Out Books, an early lesbian-feminist publisher that played a significant role in the Women in Print Movement. Between 1975 and 1980, Out and Out Books published ten books, four chapbooks, and four broadsides, publishing work by Olga Broumas, Melanie Kaye, June Jordan, Beverly Tanenhaus, Blanche Wiesen Cook, Joanna Russ, Marilyn Hacker, and others. Felice Newman worked for Out & Out Books briefly before founding Cleis Press with Frédérique Delacoste in 1980.Collection
