Abstract
The feminist monthly Opzij is the only general audience feminist publication in the Netherlands. Its readership is growing steadily. Because there are few studies of feminist magazines or their readership and because of the monopoly held by the magazine, the authors decided to research both the reception and content of Opzij, focusing on how feminism and a feminist identity are constructed by the text and by its readers. Eleven female and three male readers — who responded to an advertisement in the national dailies — were interviewed and ten volumes (1981-90) were analysed. Six `interpretive repertoires' used by readers are described, as well as the main trend and themes in Opzij's content.
