I’d never seen this magazine before, and was pleasantly surprised. This is not a typical woman’s magazine. There were articles about women’s health, women’s history month events, and the female condom. Several articles were geared towards businesswomen, and I couldn’t really get into them. However, there was a nice profile of singer-songwriter Jane Siberry, who has definitely been underrated. I also appreciated the profile of a woman activist and the article about breast cancer. This magazine is mainstream, and not very long, but it’s still refreshing to have it out there. (AK)
