As for me...

Every now and then I get baffled and frustrated by ONE-both at the same time. You do so many right things, but so many wrong ones too. More than three years ago you had an issue of the Magazine all for women. Good stories and articles, beautiful drawings. I told myself, "At last we lesbians are going to have a voice of our own."

Knowing how much we, as interesting, diversified persons have to say, it was a real thrill to see ONE doing something about it. You started out so bravely, and then just gradually faded. What happened to "The Feminine Viewpoint?" And don't ask what I have done about it myself. I HAVE

After "The Ladder" came along I read it each month. It is very good. Still, I like that little special something you people at ONE seem to have. Have you ever thought of having a magazine just for us women? I believe there are enough of us to read more than one such, provided you don't merely imitate each other.

With your experience in publishing and the many women you have listed on your staff it seems to me you could turn out a very good one. Why don't you ask your readers what they think about the idea? I, for one, would like to be your first subscriber, if you decide to go ahead.

Is it time to branch out and publish a second magazine just for the gals? Let us hear from ONE's readers!

Time and again ONE features silly little appeals to the females of the genre, to please, oh, won't they please, favor the magazine with their literary efforts. And for every such appeal. ONE also carries we-feel-left-out let-

ters from the self-same gals who grouse, "Why don't you write more about us?"

Now I have held myself back from writing you before, but this damned plaintive cry repeated so often has
