The Woman's Day link is for US, but Australia and NZ Woman's Day can also be found on Facebook pages. There are also several UK mags who have dropped fiction (Woman, Best, TAB) - go check out womagwriter's blog they may have more to add to that list. The link is on the right of my blog. What we are trying to do is let the magazines know there is an interest for fiction to be included in their magazines. Thank you for your support.Diane Fordhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018013338268306704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472744654755636965.post-89030236015401811932011-06-16T01:04:19.397+10:002011-06-16T01:04:19.397+10:00Can anyone list the mags that have dropped fiction...Can anyone list the mags that have dropped fiction? This seems all part of an effort to keep us subdued, unintelligent, concerned only with appearance, unliberated. I am serious about that. <br /><br />I'd like to ask women to demand to be treated seriously, and to have their work -- outside of the house and bedroom -- be taken seriously. In many ways, we are moving backwards in terms of cultivating feminist values. There's a general assumption in the culture that we have achieved our ends. We have not. We definitely have not, although there are men and women and organizations out there that would have us stay in our place, neat, demure and silent forever.Aryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01731252499976429004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472744654755636965.post-37612502491662620522011-06-12T07:08:18.372+10:002011-06-12T07:08:18.372+10:00Thank you for that info Pat.
