  We present an observational and theoretical review of the winds of
cataclysmic variables (CVs). Specifically, we consider the related problems of
the geometry, ionization state, and mass-loss rate of the winds of CVs. We
present evidence of wind variability and discuss the results of studies of
eclipsing CVs. Finally, we consider the properties of accretion disk wind and
magnetic wind models. Some of these models predict substantial angular momentum
loss, which could affect both disk structure and binary evolution.
