The first edition of WAAC's newsletter, Right To Choose, was published in 1973.
Full of passion and information about topics considered socially 'taboo' in the culturally and politically conservative but increasingly turbulent times, Right To Choose provides an unique snapshot of one of Sydney's important Women's Liberation Movement era voices.
Right To Choose Issue 1 (1973)
Right To Choose Issue 2 (Early 1974)
Right To Choose Issue 3 (1974)
Right To Choose was published sporadically after the first few years, typically in response to the political or social climate, until 1998.
In Summer 1980/81 the format of Right To Choose changed to an
A4 magazine, reflecting changing printing practices of the times
After 1998, Right To Choose was published digitally from time to time.
