Dear Readers,
As Women’s history month has just passed, it’s a good opportunity to feature strong girls in this issue in order to keep the conversation going. Meet Autumn Peltier, who has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize — and she’s only thirteen years old! We’d love you to share your thoughts on the controversial articles that are headlining this issue. For example, should head scarves be banned for pre-schoolers in Austria? And is American-based teen mag, Teen Bo$$ — a magazine that promotes the emerging figure of the Barbie-like ‘girl boss’ — inspiring or an unnerving depiction of ‘entrepreneurial’ young women? You will have to read on to find out more…
With strength and hope,
Ashley E. Remer & Kristina Kraemer
