Dear Pauline,
I'm responding to your request for women's journals...we're not a print
magazine, but you might be interested to check out the magazine I work for,
"Women's International Net" or "WIN" magazine. It's a free electronic
monthly that you can have sent to your email box or read on the web, and
contains articles by women all over the world concerning the issues
important to women in their countries. You can subscribe by sending an
email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that has the word "subscribe" in the
message part, or you can visit the website at http://welcome.to/winmagazine.
Any questions, please ask me, I'm at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Best Wishes,
Joy Pincus
