According to [[Eric Leif Davin]] in his book ''[[Partners in Wonder]]'' (2006), ''[[Femzine]]'' was not the first all-female SF fanzine. That honor belongs to ''[[STF-ETTE]]'', a fanzine first published by [[Pogo]] (Mary Gray) of [[LASFS]] in September, 1940. Only women were supposed to contribute to this zine, thought by [[Sam Moskowitz]] to be the "first feminist fanzine."
