Quotes: “We're not a magazine. We're not trying to drive anybody to a website, but we are a home for what we think is really crucial, really engaging, and often kind of neglected storytelling and journalism around that that really matter to women right now." – Cindi Leive “The gender gap is too big. The wealth gap is ridiculously big, way bigger than the pay gap. And, our rights are being taken away, and I wanted to be an advocate for women.” – Cindi Leive “I'm always looking for something that's gonna be, you know, a new challenge, a new chapter, a new way of thinking. And I think that keeps you fresh and also, you know, it's just exciting." – Cindi Leive Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
