The Witch and the Chameleon

Cover of The Witch and the Chameleon

The Witch and the Chameleon was a Canadian science fiction fanzine published from 1974-1976 by Amanda Bankier in Hamilton, Ontario. It is generally recognized as the first explicitly feminist fanzine.[1][2][3] It ran for five issues, the last being nominally a "double issue" numbered 5/6.[4]

Bankier was invited to be Fan Guest of Honor at WisCon in February 11-13, 1977, because of her pioneering role as editor of The Witch and the Chameleon.
