need good magazines for preteen girls - Page 2

post #21 of 25
I will say that Bitch advertises sex toys in it (as well as cloth menstrual pads, and other eco-nifty things) so if you aren't OK with that, then don't get it.

The articles in the latest issue are:
::: Laugh Trap—From politics to comedy, women’s voices are judged and ridiculed. Is it the sound that’s so scary—or what they’re saying?

::: A Good Offense—When it comes to comedy, Julie Goldman & Kate Rigg want women to take back the mic.

::: Lowest Comment Denominator—Why it’s time to give blog comments the silent treatment.

::: Lady of the Knights—Linda Stein and the art of soft power.

::: Horning In—The case for feminist metal. Plus: A guide to the heaviest women in rock.

::: The Ambition Condition—Women, writing, and the problem of success.

::: Ya? Why not?—It’s a new golden age of young-adult fiction. Five contemporary authors tell us why. Plus: A q&a with author Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu.

::: Heavy Flow—Detroit MC Invincible amps up the conversation about music and social justice.

New Moon is great! My daughter has grown out of the American Girl mags, but New Moon remains a favorite.

DD (12) likes National Geographic, Teen People, and DH's Smithsonian when he's done with it. She's really big into history and has been begging us to take her to the Smithsonian museums in DC for months now. We're planning on taking her next summer for her birthday : Shhhhh!

For the younger one, New Moon, Discovery Girls and American Girl all seem decent - I've browsed them before, and thought they were fine. The latter two are 'mainstream-ish', but not too pop culture-y. Crafts, self-esteem-boosting, how to deal with friendship dilemmas etc. Wouldn't offend their parents, but would provide a postive message for her.

I don't know for the 13 year old...that's trickier.

This one's Canadian, but the US subscription rate is not bad at all, and the mag is good. The 'personal style' section contains articles like "Why Not to Diet", there are music reviews, travel articles, interviews - not at all like Seventeen:

my dd loves this one. maybe this one might get past their parents and still show them that girls are valued for so much more.
Hopefully you're getting royalties cause I'm subscribing to this too! Thanks so much for sharing it!
