The Women's Issue

The Women of WALL CITY

Alastair Boone is the editor of Berkeley-based homeless advocacy newspaper, Street Spirit. “ This issue feels personal to me. It grapples with issues such as girlhood and giving birth. Hearing about these experiences within prison helped deepen my understanding of what it means to be incarcerated in America.”

Alissa Greenberg is freelance journalist for The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Pacific Standard among others. “It’s been a privilege to help Wall City amplify all prison voices. Even more so for this issue and the voices of incarcerated women who face enormous challenges.”

Sarah Horowitz has been volunteering as Wall City’s design adviser since 2016. “Magazines are a sublime and powerful medium for communication,” she says. “I’m a big fan, and it’s a pleasure to hear and see each individual voice in this issue.”

Molly Kittle’s mission is to connect people to their voice, their purpose, and to each other. She is the creator and host of STORY, a series of events that connect people in creative, authentic and brave ways. She is committed to upholding the crucial role of stories in our lives.

Kate McQueen is a creative nonfiction enthusiast who believes style can enhance texts on any subject. She teaches and writes on literary and journalistic history. “What makes Wall City great is its ability to make space for voices and stories that often go unheard.”
