Lux Magazine (readlux) was founded with the purpose of unearthing and contextualizing feminist history. ⤵️
Not long after I graduated college, I was in my first salaried job, making a relatively low wage but grateful that I had benefits and the stability of a regular paycheck. Still, I felt adrift. I was unmoored from my understanding of my gender, feeling gravitationally pulled toward abstraction. I felt myself becoming part of the machine, by rote taking public transit to my job and orienting my day around efficiency.
During my malaise, I went to a farmers market near my apartment and stopped at an antique stall, where there was a framed poster inscribed with poetry. The stall owner bartered with me, then told me the very little he knew about the piece. I carried it home. The illustration features a faceless woman wearing a headscarf and hoop earrings, a baby on her back, holding a rifle and a copy ofOnly a while the mountain sleeps.
, were followed directly by the “leftist defeat” of the 1980s and 1990s. “Books go out of print; that information doesn't get passed down. All this work was not necessarily visible to my generation,” Leonard tells. “To us, it's really important to build a bridge between a lot of the brilliant work that's been done in the past and all the people who are reviving a feminist left now.”
Observing this lineage, Leonard felt “absolute horror” at the lack of choices today for people developing their politics in the space outside of electoralism and nonprofits. During the flash point of the 2016 election, with its “I’m with her” signs and “Bernie bros,” she felt adrift. “These are not my politics,” says Leonard.
In this current moment, with feminism as mainstream as it’s ever been and many disaffected young people looking for an alternative to the status quo, there aren’t many publications that cater specifically to feminists on the left. There are “women’s magazines” and digital-only platforms like Refinery29 and SSENSE. There are leftist, and broadly political, publications aplenty.
