Letter from an Editor | December 30, 2022
Dear John,
As the new year approaches, we wish for peace, justice, and equality for all.
In the new year, we’re expecting great things from all the newly-elected feminists in Congress and governor’s offices and state legislatures across the country. Check out our list in the Winter 2023 issue of Ms . magazine. (If you’re not a member receiving the magazine, here’s your chance [[link removed]] .)
Next year also marks a significant chapter in our own history: Here at Ms. we’ll be celebrating our 50th anniversary. As we enter this monumental year, we’re looking back at the past half-century of feminist reporting, rebelling and truth-telling—and we'll be looking forward to the next 50!
Members of the Ms. community will receive special invitations throughout the year, including to our special programming of in-person and virtual events. And you’ll receive early notice to be among the first to purchase our forthcoming book next fall, 50 Years of Ms.: the best of the pathfinding magazine that ignited a movement (from Alfred A. Knopf, a renowned division of Penguin Random House).
The book is a one-of-a-kind collection of the magazine’s most startling, audacious, and norm-breaking pieces on women, men, politics (sexual and otherwise), marriage, family, education, work, motherhood, and reproductive rights. Filled with iconic art, covers, photos, and letters to the editor, it also features a foreword from Ms . co-founding editor Gloria Steinem and contributions by bell hooks, Alice Walker, Pauli Murray, Nancy Pelosi, Billie Jean King, Ellie Smeal, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Alison Bechdel, Brittney Cooper and Joy Harjo, as well as fiction and poetry by Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde, Joyce Carol Oates, Adrienne Rich, Rita Dove and Sharon Olds, among many others. Sign-up here [[link removed]] for notifications about the book and the many book events we are planning.
Above all, we want to thank you for being with us this year. Like I said last week, it’s been a hell of a year—but we’re ready for the next one!
Onward,

Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] + Spotify [[link removed]] .
Before Roe v. Wade , if you were in need of an abortion in Chicago, there was a number you could call, run by young women who called themselves Jane. They’d provide abortions to women who had nowhere else to turn. It was started by Heather Booth when she was 19 years old. In this episode, Booth joins Dr. Goodwin to discuss the history of the Jane Collective and the connections between our pre-Roe past and post-Roe future. Where do we go from here?

U.S. democracy is at a dangerous inflection point—from the demise of abortion rights, to a lack of pay equity and parental leave, to skyrocketing maternal mortality, and attacks on trans health. Left unchecked, these crises will lead to wider gaps in political participation and representation. For 50 years, Ms . has been forging feminist journalism—reporting, rebelling and truth-telling from the front-lines, championing the Equal Rights Amendment, and centering the stories of those most impacted. With all that’s at stake for equality, we are redoubling our commitment for the next 50 years. In turn, we need your help, Support Ms. today with a donation—any amount that is meaningful to you [[link removed]] . We are grateful for your loyalty and ferocity .
