About Empowerment4Women

Empowerment4Women is a free online magazine dedicated to bringing the basic tenets of feminism to women and men of all ages and backgrounds.

We are here to argue with the societal norm, which depicts those who value feminist ideals as anarchistic, angry and radical. Empowered women are sometimes angry, sometimes radical and, even, sometimes anarchistic. But empowered women also know that feminism can be as big as a globally-choreographed movement or as small as the individual realization that something simply isn't … quite right.

Empowerment4Women's mission is to present feminist-hearted material without the shock factor. Rather, we present that which is reality, and then let our readership sit back and develop their own conclusions. After all, an empowered woman is, above all things, a woman who knows how to think for herself.

We are not a revolution, but we dream that each and every one of our readers will create his or her own. Because empowered individuals learn to create their own destinies—and then invite others to join in.

Empowerment4Women. It's about you. It's about time.
