Musica was the first publication about Women's Music. It was edited by Indy Allen, out of Troutdale, Oregon, and the first issue was a three-page newsletter (March 1974). By the fifth issue (Spring 1976) it had grown to 13 pages of news about festivals, new releases and artist info. The last issue is from Spring, 1977. I obtained my copies from the Women's Institute For Freedom, and reprint their flyer below, as it gives a great description of it. Issues 1 & 2 are below it, and the others are on the following pages.
