Election post
I’m standing for editor not because I am fond of the act itself, but because Women’s Wrongs has never been a place for sitting still. It has always been a space that moves intellectually, politically, and creatively. It is a zine that manages to be serious about ideas without taking itself too seriously. That space is what makes it so distinctive, and it’s exactly what I hope to sustain and push further.
To me, editing isn’t about smoothing things over or neutrality. It’s about finding the balance between the serious and humorous which produces clarity, a chuckle, and occasionally discomfort. My aim as editor is to hold space for those niche pieces: to encourage good writing which prompts thought.
I see Women’s Wrongs as an ongoing conversation — one that laughs at itself even when it questions everything around it. Standing for this role then, is more than looking after my posture; it’s for the writers who write incredible pieces, for the readers who keep us real, and for the ideas that keep us from sitting still for too long.
