The New England Free Press operated between 1967 and 1981, publishing radical articles on female liberation. NEFP was responsible for publishing Women and their Bodies for the first time in December of 1970. Wildly popular, when the first edition of 5,000 copies sold out in a few months, it was reprinted with a new and much more familiar title: Our Bodies, Ourselves. By 1973, more than 225,000 copies had been printed.
