A note from the editor

Welcome to WO/.

WO/ is a new independent publication, written by women, edited by women, for women. We cover crime, law, survival, culture, fashion, and the things the rest of the press is too tired or too cautious to name. We are starting small and growing on purpose. Every story published here is one we believe needed to exist.

The first piece is live above. More are being written. If a category in our menu reads "coming soon," it's because the work is being done properly, not because we forgot you. Subscribe to the dispatch and we'll send each new piece directly to you.
