Woman in the Moon Publications was a new age feminist press founded by SDiane Bogus (es-di-ann, b.1946) in 1979. The press
ceased operations in 1999, after publishing over 30 books of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction by and about people of color,
LGBTQ+ people, and prisoners, and on topics in women's studies, health, new age spirituality, and spiritualism. Bogus, an
