The Women's Media Center works to make women visible and powerful in the media. Led by our president, Julie Burton, the WMC works with the media to ensure that women’s stories are told and women’s voices are heard.
We are directly engaged with the media at all levels to ensure that a diverse group of women is present in newsrooms, on air, in print and online, in film, entertainment, and theater, as sources and subjects.
The Women’s Media Center was founded in 2005 as a nonprofit progressive women's media organization by Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem.
This Women’s Media Center press kit contains approved WMC images, logos and biographies for reporters, editors, producers and bookers.

Utilizing the medium to its fullest potential, Zeilinger fused a generation gap when she created a space where young feminists could connect with one another, feel a little less alone in their beliefs, and have their voices heard. For decades, adults have been talking about the future of feminism — the FBomb allows the future of feminism to join the conversation.
It’s not her mother’s brand of feminism, to be sure, but the sassy tone and honest rapport resonate with girls the world over…The blog has a light, informative touch with serious topics like forced marriage and hate crimes while also posting thoughtful personal tales on the trouble with bathing suits and boyfriends. The writing is fresh, never jaded, and makes the reader feel as though she is discovering the world anew.
There are so many powerful stories on the Women Under Siege website.
With both the silencing and shame of rape victims a global phenomenon, I found this project moving and inspirational. Go and have a look.
A site worth watching… .The new site states its mission bluntly; Women Under Siege looks to be a project with an edge. But there is another reason to visit the Web site: its original content.”
[Stories] are also just stories. Can they change the lived reality of women in conflict zones and misogynistic cultures? Can they leverage implementation of dormant laws and cajole corrupted law enforcement officials out of their jobs? That remains to be seen. But at least perhaps a global chorus of voices and first-hand experiences is a step in that direction.
Not only are these young women actively working to expand their political viewpoint—and the tools they need to work within their communities—they are negotiating their personal and online identities in real time for the world to see…simply claiming the titlefeministis a powerful act, for both teenagers and adults (there is a reason Julie Z. called her blog The FBomb), and these bloggers are actively working to ensure more people claim it, grapple with its meaning, and work towards achieving its goals.
