Dear Feminist.com Friend,  

  

Here's hoping your summer has been wonderful so far! At Feminist.com, we've been busy with exciting plans and fresh content--columns, excerpts and contributors--who are redefining what it means to live feminism today. 

 

Yes, we know the word "feminist" can still inspire hot debate, which is exactly why Feminist.com continues to grow-and welcomes your input! As times change, the feminist movement evolves right along with it. More and more, people are finding ways to express feminist principles through spirituality, work, global peace efforts, family, art, health-every imaginable aspect of life. Our newest content aims to express that, and shows how feminism is still an incredibly rich and relevant part of healing our troubled world. We hope you're inspired, moved and awakened by what you read.

 

In sisterhood,

 

 

 

Marianne Schnall 

Feminist.com Founder & Executive Director

New Book Excerpts

"Why is it that so many of us make food so complicated and loaded? Food is nourishment; it's not the enemy. Food is romantic, creative, and divine. No diet that makes you feel deprived or socially isolated is worth it.Full excerpt at Feminist.com >

  

 

 

by Nina Godiwalla 

"I still remember the chairman's charismatic smile as he welcomed us into the formal dining room. "Tell me all about your experience here at Morgan Stanley," he said. "I'm dying to hear about you all. Please, just relax and be yourself!"
