History

Begun in 1984 [3] by Mollie Hoben and Glenda Martin as a biweekly newspaper and launched on April 16, 1985, the publication became a monthly magazine in 2009 under former owners Norma Smith Olson and Kathy Magnuson. On December 14, 2017, Mikki Morrissette purchased the magazine, and serves as the current publisher and editor. [2]

Editorial content

The magazine publishes the stories and aspirations of women who are ordinary and extraordinary, sometimes in their own words, and sometimes written by staff writers. The hope is that change building a better future will come from their collective energy. [2]
