Time and Tide
Title
Time and Tide
Description
Margaret Haig, Lady Rhondda, started this female-directed weekly review of politics and the arts, modelled along the lines of the New Statesman. Starting out as an overtly feminist magazine and written largely by and for women, it also worked from the beginning to extend its reach beyond a feminist and female readership and by the mid-1930s had secured a unique position as the only female-run general-audience weekly review of its day.
For a period it carried reports of the Six Point Group, a new feminist organisation founded by Lady Rhondda. Regular contributors included Vera Brittain, Crystal Eastman, Cecily Hamilton, Winifred Holtby, Naomi Mitchison, Gwendolen Raverat, Elizabeth Robins, Christopher St. John, Helena Swanwick, Rebecca West, Virginia Woolf, and many others. In the 1920s its general standpoint was liberal feminist, with a marked interationalist-pacifist tendency; however, in the 1930s the feminism gradually faded away till it was restricted mainly to Lady Rhonda’s own “Notes on the Way."
