The Witch and the Chameleon
The Witch and the Chameleon was a Canadian science fiction fanzine published 1974–1976 by Amanda Bankier in Hamilton, Ontario. It is generally recognized as the first explicitly feminist fanzine.[1][2][3] It ran for five issues, the last being nominally a "double issue" numbered 5/6.[4]
Bankier was invited to be Fan Guest of Honor at the first WisCon on February 11–13, 1977, because of her pioneering role as editor of The Witch and the Chameleon.
