Women's Studies Quarterly, often referred to as WSQ, is a biannual peer-reviewed academic journal of women's studies that was established in 1972 and published by The Feminist Press.

"Alerts and Provocations" informs readers about immediate political crises affecting women. "Classics Revisited" rereads a major text of women's studies, with a response by the original author. Book reviews and essays inform readers about recent work in the field.
The editors-in-chief are Cynthia Chris and Matt Brim (College of Staten Island). Previous editors are Victoria Pitts-Taylor and Talia Schaffer (Queens College), Cindi Katz and Nancy K. Miller.
