Nancy Poore

Nancy Poore (1939–2025) was an American editor, writer, publisher, artist, printer and activist. With Jocelyn H. Cohen, she co-founded the Helaine Victoria Press, notable for its inclusive unearthing of stories and photographs of forgotten heroines and women's movements from around the world and for reproducing these in small, inexpensive formats that could be used, displayed and seen by many. Poore thus contributed to the gradual expansion of knowledge of women's history and the resurrection from obscurity of many individual women and women's organisations.
