Broadsheet was a monthly New Zealand feminist magazine produced from 1972 to 1997. The magazine played a significant part in New Zealand women's activism.[1]

It was co-founded by Anne Else[2] and Sandra Coney.[3] The magazine was "New Zealand's first feminist magazine focusing on women's issues and information sharing on a national and international level."[4]

The first issue was released in July 1972, and "consisted of twelve foolscap pages - stapled". 200 copies were produced, which sold out, and before the second issue was published they had 50 paid subscribers.[5]

Maori issues sometimes received considerable coverage in the magazine, which provoked "fierce exchanges in the letters pages".[6]
