History
CALYX Journal was established in 1976 by four women with a vision to provide a publication that celebrates the excellence and diversity of women's literature and art. The point of view of women authors is an important component of our cultural heritage, and CALYX works to ensure that this point of view is not lost. CALYX showcases women's art and literature to make up for the disparities women writers have suffered. A recent survey shows women's writing represents only twenty-five percent of those published by small presses.
From the beginning, CALYX Journal established a reputation for discovering new writers and artists and presenting their work in an elegant format. Thousands of writers and artists have been published by CALYX Journal since its inception (over 4,000 by 2012). A few who were published first or early in their careers include Julia Alvarez, Ellen Bass, Chitra Divakaruni, Molly Gloss, Linda Hogan, Natalie Goldberg, Barbara Kingsolver, Colleen McElroy, Sharon Olds, Nobel Laureate Wislawa Szymborska (the first English translations in the U.S.A.), and Eleanor Wilner, among others. CALYX Journal was also the first U.S. publisher of color art reproductions of the work of the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
