Dear readers,

We are so excited to finally share the second edition of Ms. Mag! From Magnet’s treatment of our softball team to women conquering space, students have researched, written, and shared topics they are passionate about. With students of all grade levels contributing work, this magazine is a testament to the curiosity our Magnet community shares and promotes. Seeing a sophomore explain the complicated history of Southern Belles or junior boys writing creative poetry shows us that this magazine fills a need on our campus and will live on past our graduation in May. In countries like Afghanistan and Iran, this luxury of free expression is non-existent, so we hope this legacy will not only continue to be used to elevate Magnet but will also help students continue to shed light on events, injustices, and triumphs happening around the world.

Our inspiration for this project has always been Gloria Steinem’s Ms. Magazine from the 1970s. Her team electrified female-targeted media, drove the second wave of feminism, and we hope Ms. Mag holds our campus in a similar light. We proudly offer a platform that covers topics typically uncovered in classrooms or even local papers, which would be impossible without Ms.’s revolution.

The two of us compile, edit, format, and design this magazine, but its content is entirely student created and oriented. Its publication would not be possible without our fantastic club members and teachers! That said, we hope you enjoy this edition as much as we have enjoyed putting it together over the last few months!

Sincerely,
