About the Journal

REGS (Revista de Estudios de Género y Sexualidades)/JGSS (Journal of Gender and Sexuality Studies, previously known as Letras femeninas) is the journal of the Asociación de Estudios de Género y Sexualidades (AEGS/AGSS Association of Gender and Sexuality Studies).** It is one of the earliest academic journals to be devoted strictly to gender-related issues, women authors, and feminist theory in the context of Hispanic literature and cultures, Luso-Brazilian and US-Latino authors, artists, and filmmakers.
The biannual, peer-reviewed journal was first published in the Spring of 1975 at the University of Colorado, Denver, by a progressive group of predominantly Latin and North American women scholars and writers working in US universities and colleges and has been published without interruption since then. In addition to critical articles on gender or gender-related topics, REGS features unpublished work by Spanish, Latin American, and Latino/a authors, poets, and playwrights, interviews with writers, artists, filmmakers, and critics, and a substantial book review section in every issue.
** previously (1974-2017) known as AILCFH (Asociación Internacional de Literatura y Cultura Femeninas Hispánicas).
REGS is sponsored by AEGS/AGSS and the Department of Romance and Classical Studies at Michigan State University.
