We hope you'll join us to celebrate the extraordinary new anthology 50 YEARS OF Ms.: THE BEST OF THE PATHFINDING MAGAZINE THAT IGNITED A REVOLUTION (Knopf, Sept. 2023) — five decades of the magazine’s most startling, audacious and norm-breaking pieces.
In a starred review, Booklist praised it as “thoughtfully curated and zestful,” noting that Ms. “continues to lead in the long battle for gender equality, an essential element in a thriving democracy.”
Because this book is as much a reflection of the past 50 years as it is a roadmap for the path forward, we are thrilled to leverage its release to engage in conversations with movement leaders around the country. Together we will explore what the future of feminism and its journalism demands: vision that is bold, imaginative and collaborative.
Many thanks for being a loyal Ms. reader. We hope to see you soon!
