Often subject to change and in times of backlash, what role can the so-called category of FLINTA and women*’s independent magazines play by informing, expressing, and speaking out, and creating new strategies? Leading contemporary initiatives share insight into their publishing practices, challenges, current projects, and visions of the future.
