Still not excited? Here’s what former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, labor and civil rights leader Dolores Huerta, and MacArthur “Genius Grant” award recipient Loretta Ross have to say about it:
“When the first issue hit newsstands in 1972, the magazine introduced our nation for the very first time to an unapologetic voice from the ‘feminist frontlines:’ shining a bright light on urgent issues that had long been underreported. Full of practical guidance and thoughtful insight, today Ms. remains an indispensable resource for navigating the challenges of the 21st century—because, as I always say, when women succeed, America succeeds!” —Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
“Ms. magazine has been the inspiration and pivotal force for the women’s movement in the United States and the world, inspiring millions to achieve their full potential. 50 YEARS OF Ms. couldn’t come at a more crucial moment. To achieve a feminist majority in governance, it’s the feminist fuel we all need—for us who’ve been on the frontlines for generations, and young leaders of today and tomorrow. Sí se puede!” —Dolores Huerta, Cofounder, United Farm Workers, and President, Dolores Huerta Foundation
“In this day of information overload, Ms. magazine aggregates all the news feminists need to navigate and improve the world for women. It keeps us informed of important events we need to understand and act on to end discrimination against women. 50 YEARS OF Ms. is a must-read for all feminists.” —Loretta Ross, activist, professor, public intellectual and MacArthur “Genius Grant” award recipient
And be sure to stay tuned—we’ll be diving into the archives and sharing exclusive content with you throughout our 50th year.
As the earliest editors of this magazine wrote, “Ms. belongs to all of us.” And we thank you, our loyal readers, for these past 50 years—and the next 50!
For Equality,
The Ms. team
