I just want to alert the femininisting commnunity to HerStoria - a new, independent magazine of women's history. Why's it needed? Because popular history magazines are still skewed towards men's stories and interests. Despite women's and gender history making it into universities, it is not so well talked about beyond.
HerStoria looks at the past from a female view and, like a kaleidoscope, everything changes. Even accepted historical periods and categorisations become unsettled. Women's history is by its very nature is feminist; we celebrate women and examine the issues.
HerStoria is produced in the UK. You can find out more and subscribe at www.herstoria.com

Thank you Clairegj. I'm bookmarking it. I'm in grad school to become a history teacher and definitely need to be able to understand more perspectives on history.
