Parallel is a new quarterly women’s magazine that focuses on life through a feminist lens. The title is a play on the idea that feminism and modern popular culture are currently running parallel to one another; the two things need to intersect and combine. And that’s exactly what we plan to do. 

Our magazine covers subjects regarding race, gender, sexuality, age, liberation, women’s rights, activism, disability, and more, all tied up together in an aesthetically pleasing, contemporary women’s magazine.We subvert the format of ordinary celebrity or fashion magazines to highlight key issues in today’s world. We interview and talk to influential women about their opinions, highlight key feminist community groups that you could get involved in, and review, discuss, and critique women’s role in the media. Parallel Magazine spotlights achievements outside of fashion and beauty, talks about community and activism and how you, as a woman, can make a change to the world around you. It focuses on everything from art to pop culture to history – all through the viewpoint of a modern young feminist.

Liberating, and empowering, Parallel talks about activism and achievements. It features strong women who are really making a difference in this world.
