Happy international women’s day

March 8th, 2008

In honor of March 8, I thought I’d list eight of my favorite women’s media outlets in autobiographical order (that is, my autobio):

  1. Ms. — Used to steal my mom’s issues when I was a kid. Thank god for Gloria Steinem.
  2. BUST – Still have the “Sex” issue with John Spencer of JSBX on the cover. (Mmmm.) Still devour every issue.
  3. Bitch — Cannot read an issue without having a debate with someone about something I read in it, even if it’s just an internal, telepathic debate with one of the mag’s writers. In other words, the mag makes me think. Which is a good thing.
  4. Seal Press — What can I say? I heart my publisher’s MO. Always have, always will.
  5. Broadsheet on Salon.com — Brilliant, insightful, hilarious writers. Always classy, already a classic. I pretty much bow at their feet.
  6. Women’s eNews — Most underrated women’s media outlet. Remember back when web stories were 100% reported? That parallel universe still exists on Women’s eNews. This site’s top-notch.
  7. Feministing — Because in-your-face is good.
  8. Jezebel — Because snark is even better.

How about you? Got any faves to share?

    I often turn to the Feminist blog aggregator Rose’s Place to see upcoming issues in Canada (they’re often a bit ahead of the media on upcoming legislation and issues). In the mainstream media, though, the Toronto Star’s Antonia Zerbisias’ blog, Broadsides, is a favourite.

    I also like Femisting - it’s my main source for American feminist happenings.
