Our Vision

We are all parts of a greater whole. Our stronger future will be built from the collective energy of people who shift narratives to effect change.

History

The Twin Cities-based publication was launched by Mollie Hoben and Glenda Martin on April 16, 1985. The idea started in 1984 to publish a biweekly newspaper dedicated to telling stories about Minnesota women, by women, for women. Norma Smith Olson and Kathy Magnuson were co-owners from 2003 to 2017, transitioning in February 2009 to a monthly magazine format. On December 14, 2017, the magazine was bought by Mikki Morrissette, who serves as the publisher and editor.
