From cbldf.org:

"The first all-women underground publication was the 1970 one-shot It Ain’t Me Babe, edited by Trina Robbins and Willy Mendes. Published by Ron Turner’s Last Gasp, the comic featured stories by Robbins and Mendes as well as Nancy Kalish, Meredith Kurtzman, Michele Brand, Lisa Lyons, and Carole. Although copies are hard to come by today, the book sold well enough that Turner agreed to an all-female series, Wimmen’s Comix, which launched in November 1972 as a collective with rotating editorship. From the start, Wimmen’s Comix deconstructed the sexist double standards applied to women in a quickly changing society... The collaborators also expanded the discussion of women’s sexuality with honest and personal explorations of all orientations... Beauty standards and body image were also frequent topics, as in “Goldie” by Aline Kominsky. Wimmen’s Comix endured with an irregular publishing schedule until 1992, later featuring landmark creators, including Melinda Gebbie, Phoebe Gloeckner, Roberta Gregory, Shary Flenniken, Dori Seda, Diane Noomin, and many more. A few months before the founding of Wimmen’s Comix, Joyce Farmer (then Sutton) and Lyn Chevli founded their own series T*ts & Cl*ts Comix in July 1972, self-published under the Nanny Goat Productions banner. The first few issues exclusively featured work by Farmer and Chevli, like (the) parody ad from the back cover of #3..
