Bi Women Quarterly

About Bi Women Quarterly

Bi Women Quarterly represents over four decades of grassroots activism and community building in Jamaica Plain, MA, serving as a vital resource for bisexual+ women worldwide. Produced by the Boston Bisexual Women's Network, this publication emerged in 1983 as a response to the need for authentic, inclusive representation of women with complex sexualities—making it the oldest bisexual+ women's publication globally. What distinguishes Bi Women Quarterly is its expansive vision of community and belonging; the publication actively welcomes and centers the voices of trans, non-binary, cisgender, and gender-nonconforming women, recognizing that bisexual+ identity intersects with multiple dimensions of lived experience. Beyond its published work, the Boston Bisexual Women's Network fosters connection through social events for Boston-area bi women and their allies, creating spaces for community gathering and mutual support. The organization's commitment to accessibility is evident in its digitization efforts and partnership with Harvard University's Schlesinger Library, ensuring that decades of bisexual+ women's history and storytelling remain available to researchers, students, and community members. Led by editor Robyn Ochs—recognized by Teen Vogue as one of nine bisexual women making history—and a dedicated team of assistant editors and volunteers, Bi Women Quarterly continues its mission of elevating marginalized voices, building solidarity across identities, and documenting the rich, complex experiences of bisexual+ women in all their diversity.
