About Us
No matter how you found your way to our site — as a student looking for resources, a longtime feminist who proudly identifies with the "f-word," or someone simply curious about the myriad ways feminist issues intersect with every other part of life — we welcome you. We hope your visit to Feminist.com is informative and inspiring.
I founded Feminist.com to create a trusted online home for feminist issues, voices and organizations: a place where people could find connection, information, and opportunities to take action. Thirty years later, our mission remains unchanged — yet it feels more urgent than ever. With so many critical issues at stake and so much misinformation clouding the public conversation, we are called to uplift diverse perspectives, share reliable resources and strengthen our collective efforts toward a more just and equitable world. I hope you’ll join us.
Since our founding in 1995, Feminist.com has been a trusted home for intersectional and intergenerational feminist voices. Now, as we mark our 30th anniversary, we’re starting an exciting new chapter. Building on our legacy of connecting and uplifting diverse feminist leaders and organizations, we’re relaunching Feminist.com as a vibrant multimedia hub and ecosystem that offers a dynamic space for conversation, learning, and action.
A new Feminist.com is taking shape—keep checking back for exciting new content and features.

This month, we are remembering our 2013 salon, Our Inner Lives: Spirit, Faith and Action, held at the NYU Global Center for Academic and Spiritual Life. The packed event was a celebration of multifaith diversity and included a thought-provoking keynote by Marianne Williamson, a moving musical performance by India.Arie, and groundbreaking discussion with such speakers as Gabrielle Bernstein, Elizabeth Lesser, Maria Ebrahimji, Rabbi Jill Hammer, Chung Hyun Kyung, Agapi Stassinopoulos, Helen LaKelly Hunt, and Rev. Jacqui Lewis. Feminist.com also presented the Spirit, Faith & Action award to Sister Joan Chittister for her commitment to feminist causes through a faith perspective. Participants and speakers discussed together the intersections of spirituality, activism, and feminism.
As speaker Chung Hyun Kyung explained, “Feminism is a deeply spiritual movement [in which] women try to find their true selves, and try to be really useful in the deepest, fullest, holistic sense.”

We are proud to share this powerful conversation between Marianne Schnall and three renowned pro-democracy leaders: LaTosha Brown, cofounder of Black Voters Matter, Monica Riley, executive director of The Alabama Alliance, and Pamela Shifman, president of Democracy Alliance. In this full-length interview (portions of which originally appeared at Forbes) they discuss:
✨ What they learned and experienced when their organizations convened in Selma, Alabama, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday
✨ The lessons we can draw from history that are especially important in this moment
✨ The power of solidarity among women fighting for a more equitable world
✨ Their calls to action and more
As LaTosha says, “We have to learn from the past that in this moment, there`s the opportunity to act. Secondly, is the opportunity to imagine. And third, in the space of what is fear, that is when courage is born. So this is our moment. Game on.”
