Riposte # 06

Riposte is a smart magazine for women.
Each issue features five ideas, four meetings, three features, two essays and one icon. It profiles bold and fascinating women whose achievements speak for themselves. The interviews are honest rather than being full of media trained responses as the women featured candidly discuss their successes & failures, their work, their passions and perspectives.
Essays and features cover a broad range of issues including art, design, music, business, innovation, politics, food and travel.

We live in very weird times. With so many huge issues, rampant inequality and injustice going on in the world it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. As if it’s impossible for one person to really make a difference. To try and get to grips with what we can practically do as individuals or how we can join forces with others to make an impact we brought together a collection of innovative activists from across a range of causes. For this issue, Riposte met with Sisters Uncut, trans activist Charlie Craggs who is spreading her fabulous activism one manicure at a time, environmental activist Peggy Oki, Kerrie-Anne Mendozaof The Canary and Mary Joyce of Meta-Activism. Each of them broke down what they did, what they were fighting against and how everyone can get involved.
