MISSION  STATEMENT

Feminist opinions and analysis in broadcast, film and print media is frequently absent.  Women's Voices Media is dedicated to giving women the opportunity mainstream media does not provide.

Mainstream media is saturated with the anti-woman message of the radical right.  Women need a forum for feminist thought and analysis of national policy issues and a vehicle for recording Your Voice.

Historically the contributions of women have been unreported, underrated, or ignored. To remedy this, we have created a repository called HerStory.
