“Quite simply the most outstanding print-based feminist magazine in the United States.”—The Feminist Review
“The ‘feminisms’ espoused in make/shift are radical and varied, eagerly taking up the critiques of capitalism, environmental racism, health care, and war that are considered out of bounds for mainstream feminism.” —Utne
Make/shift magazine creates and documents contemporary feminist culture and action by publishing journalism, critical analysis, and visual and text art. Made by an editorial collective committed to antiracist, transnational, and queer perspectives, make/shift embraces the multiple and shifting identities of feminist communities. There’s exciting work being done in various spaces and forms by people seriously and playfully resisting and creating alternatives to systematic oppression. Make/shift exists to represent, participate in, critique, provoke, and inspire more of that good work.
In its first three years, make/shift has published a diverse mix of emerging and established writers and artists, including brownfemipower, T Cooper, Sonali Kolhatkar, Amitis Motevalli, Emily Roysdon, Erin Aubry Kaplan, Dean Spade, Dorit Cypis, Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, Nomy Lamm, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Jules Rosskam, Tiny aka Lisa Gray-Garcia, and Randa Jarrar—just to name a few.
In both 2008 and 2009, Utne’s list of “50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World” included numerous regular contributors to make/shift, including coeditor/copublisher Jessica Hoffmann. “For those who haven’t lost hope in the social-justice promise of feminism,” Utne wrote, “their work is transformational.”
