History and profile

Effe was established in 1973.[3][4] The magazine inspired from the views of American feminist Shulamith Firestone.[5] Daniela Colombo was one of the founders[6] and editors-in-chief of the magazine,[7] which was published on a monthly basis.[3] The other founder was Alma Sabatini.[2] The first editor of Effe was Gabriella Parca.[8] In the 1970s Adele Cambria was among the editors of the magazine,[9] which extensively dealt with the topics of love and affective relationships between couples.[5] For the contributors of the magazine love was an abstract notion as well as a fact of daily life, both heterosexual and homosexual.[5] Effe frequently attacked mainstream women's magazines in Italy.[10]

Effe ceased publication in 1982.[4][5]
