Link was a fanzine published by Beryl Henley and Mary Reed from 1964 to 1966 and distributed through the BSFA's PADS. It was part of the "new wave" of British fanzines and, as such, was somewhat controversial. (This led Beryl Henley to make the case for newcomers in a debate in Beyond, while Archie Mercer made the case for established fans. They later married.)
In its first issue, Henley wrote:
Well, hello. Welcome one and all to this 'arena', known as Link. This is primarily intended to be a femme-fanzine — although You Blokes are as welcome as anybody else.
...
The primary aim of Link is humour. All types. So laugh, damn you. Constructive criticism and helpful suggestions will always be received with thanks – especially from those more experienced in 'zine-production than we are. (Which means almost everybody – I'd never typed a stencil in my life till I tackled Link!).
