The Women’s Information Centre, Toronto, published the Women’s Information Centre Newsletter from 1974 to 1976. The newsletter covered events and issues in Toronto and across Ontario and Canada.

In the summer of 1974, the Women’s Place Collective split into two groups. One group planned to set up a women’s cultural centre, while the Women’s Information Centre decided to continue with the “business aspects” of Women’s Place. These included phone referrals, the speakers bureau, the legal clinic, consciousness-raising groups, and a newsletter. This group moved to a new location on Spadina Avenue in Toronto.
The newsletter included many announcements about meetings, services, and issues reflecting the wide range of feminist organizing in Toronto at this time.
