Interviews.
Long-form interviews with women who built their own business, career and life — often in another country and from scratch. We don’t publish everyone: the editors choose the heroines. Every story is told in the first person, approved by the heroine and published on the 1st, 15th and 21st of the month.
Tell your story →Second Act
Stories of women who changed their lives in the second half of the journey: after divorce, a crisis or twenty years in one role. It’s never too late to begin.
