Bust (magazine)
Bust is a feminist lifestyle magazine that was founded in 1993 by Debbie Stoller, Laurie Henzel, and Marcelle Karp. Based in New York City, the magazine covers a wide range of topics relevant to women, including fashion, beauty, music, art, crafts, sex, politics, and pop culture, all presented from a feminist perspective.
Bust is known for its DIY (Do-It-Yourself) projects, interviews with prominent women in various fields, humorous articles, and coverage of alternative culture. The magazine aims to provide a voice for women who feel marginalized by mainstream media and to challenge traditional gender roles.
Over the years, Bust has expanded its presence beyond print, with a significant online presence through its website and social media channels. The magazine has also hosted events such as the Bust Craftacular, a popular craft fair showcasing independent artists and makers. Bust has played a role in shaping contemporary feminist discourse and providing a platform for diverse voices within the feminist movement.
