Ms. magazine was awarded PEN America's Impact Award, in honor of the publication's five decades of feminist journalism.
Below are Nossel’s prepared remarks :
The PEN America Impact award is conferred in honor of a publication that has left an indelible mark on the landscape of journalism, activism and women’s rights. Of course, no publication better embodies this mantle than Ms. magazine. It seems audacious, even today, that one could start a revolution by telling stories often ignored in the mainstream, written by voices that have been cast aside. And yet, that is the very model that has allowed Ms. to serve as a catalyst for social change.
Ironically, the only photo of PEN’s Congress in The New York Times was that of the Women’s Meeting. It got people thinking: Where are all the women writers?
