Lilian Mohin

Lilian Mohin (2 September 1938 – 19 February 2020) was a radical feminist, activist, poet, pioneer of feminist publishing, and co-founder of Onlywomen Press, a London-based publishing house primarily publishing feminist work. She remained the director of the company until 2015. She was a published author and activist who appeared on the cover of Life magazine with Ralph Nader.

Mohin was also involved in the broader field of feminist publishing and women in publishing. Mohin and her OWP colleagues taught other women about the production process. In 1977, she and Hart organized the first national conference for women in publishing and printing. This aligned with Mohin's belief that lesbianism was based on community.

In 2015, illness forced her to step down from Only Women Press, and she was moved to Nightingale care home in Clapham to live her last few years.
