Country Women was an American feminist magazine published in Albion, California, from 1972 until 1979.[1] Describing itself as "a feminist country survival manual and a creative journal," the magazine published various articles, poems, and illustrations concerning women learning and growing in rural communities.[2] Country Women was founded, hand-illustrated, and typewritten by Carmen Goodyear and a commune of women she had welcomed to her property after moving to Mendocino County.[3]

The magazine advertised itself in HERESIES, another feminist publication, by describing its content:

Country Women was successful for a while, garnering more subscribers than Ms. magazine at one point, but ultimately ceased publication in 1979 due to financial and staff issues.
