In celebration of our fiftieth year, join us in looking back on a historic half-century of reporting, rebelling and truth-telling. 

BY MS. EDITORS | When it launched 50 years ago, Ms. magazine was a brazen act of independence—demonstrating the untapped potential for journalism that centered news and analysis on women and their lives and made a feminist worldview more accessible to the public.

Ms. continues to be the place where feminists find information and inspiration. And we thank you, our loyal readers, for these past 50 years—and the next 50! As the earliest editors of this magazine wrote, “Ms. belongs to all of us.”

Explore this celebration of 50 years of Ms.—including a timeline of the magazine's history, stories from editors from the ‘70s, ’80s and ‘90s on what it was like to be a part of the early years of Ms., and so much more.

Because it's hard to keep up with everything going on in the world right now. Here's what we're reading this week:

• "Ms. Magazine Turns 50" — The Cut

Tune in for a new episode of Ms. magazine's podcast, On the Issues with Michele Goodwin on Apple Podcasts + Spotify.

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?

We hope you'll listen, subscribe, rate and review today!
