Womankind is an independent ad-free newsstand
Ad-free
The ad-free format attracted commentary from media organisations: ArtsHub noted that it had climbed steadily to the top of women's magazines to compete with Marie Claire and Vogue and describes it as "disrupting the publishing industry as it feeds the souls of a broad demographic of smart women interested in big ideas about philosophy, sociology and psychology."[6] Broadsheet describes it as "changing the concept of what a women's magazine is".[7]
Awards
The launch cover of Womankind featured Simone de Beauvoir and was voted one of the top in the world by German media website MEEDIA;[8] in 2016 the magazine's editor Antonia Case was shortlisted for Editor of the Year in The Stack Awards 2016.[9] Earlier in 2016 Library Journal selected Womankind as one of the best magazines in the US for 2015, saying that "the distinguished contributors and artists deliver insightful and intriguing ideas via text, photography, and drawings" and that "although created predominantly by and for women, it will have much to offer independent thinkers of all genders."[10]
