Aunt Lute Books is a multicultural feminist press whose mission is to "publish literature by women whose voices have been traditionally under-represented in mainstream and small press publishing" and "distribute literature that expresses the true complexity of women’s lives and the possibilities for personal and social change."〔(About Aunt Lute )〕 The publisher has a stated aim to embrace the opportunity to work with and support first-time authors.〔 ==Publishing history== In 1982, Aunt Lute Book Company was founded by Barb Wieser and Joan Pinkvoss in Iowa.〔Hoshino, Edith S.
