If you're a certain age, you'll remember women's magazines as mostly "Can This Marriage Be Saved" (The Ladies Home Journal to which PWNSC members Cathy Scott's and Cordelia Mendoza's mother was always submitting articles) or 101 Things to do with Jello (Good Housekeeping). There were others, but let me just say this: if you wanted to read something that was well written, incisive, topical or entrepreneurial, you read men's magazines (Esquire, which was truly first rate in the 1960's; Playboy (!!) where President Jimmy Carter admitted to "lusting in his heart" in the 1970's and which male subscribers uniformly claimed to "read for the articles"); or magazines of mass circulation like The Atlantic, Harpers, or the New Yorker.

When Ms. Magazine arrived to help head up the Second Wave Women's Movement in December 1971 as a "one-shot" sample insert in New York Magazine  -- remember "click"? -- "we" - the "new women" had our first journal.

Today, more than thirty years later, we finally have our own business magazine and there's no shame in the word "woman" being attached to it. Having been an activist engaged in the Second Wave Women's Movement in the early '70s (first as purely an extra-curricular activity and later for the domestic peace corps' "Program for Local Service) I'm particularly proud to be a part of that magazine today: ForbesWoman -- right here!
