Makara

International Women's Day parade, 1977.
Makara was a Canadian feminist arts journal, produced in Vancouver, British Columbia from December 1975 to 1978 by the Pacific Women’s Graphic Arts Co-operative, in co-operation with Press Gang Publishers. The collective began work in 1972–73. The magazine was billed as "The Canadian magazine by women for people".
