Overview
It is always exciting when you hear of a new magazine being launched, particularly one that identifies itself as an ‘inclusive feminist zine that bridges the gap between academic journal and mainstream magazine’. It is definitely refreshing considering the newsstand guff that features Kim Kardashian on the cover month after month!
eFEMeral is a Brisbane creation, and intends to offer a broad platform for female and feminist voices. The magazine shares the stories of significant women, and explores issues that affect women, delving deep into the issues that impact on the lives of women, and sharing stories that speak to this audience.
The magazine does this through the written word, but it also features visual artworks, sharing stories and perspectives through a visual medium, and offering a forum for artists to have their work published in a different context, opening up new audiences and opportunities.
The first issue was a great success, selling for $10 a copy (to cover costs) - it developed an instant following and almost sold out. The second issue of eFEMeral is about to be launched this Sunday at Rabbit Hole Ideation Café in West End, and again issues are limited so it is essential to get along and get purchasing this weekend!
