What does a subscription get you?

girl online is a weekly newsletter.

☆ As a free subscriber, you can access our weekly long-form stories; published usually on Wednesdays.

☆ As a paid subscriber, you can access both our long-form stories and girl bulletin – our weekly guide to understanding the global evolution of digital girlhood. They usually go out on Saturdays.

☆ As a patron, you can help me produce a free newsletter issue.

This is a one-woman show (I write this newsletter on the weekends). While this is a passion project that gives purpose to my 20-something life, your subscriptions help me run things, produce reported features, and pay our guest contributors.

Subscribe to girl online and support ad-free, women-focused, independent journalism.

I hope you enjoy reading this newsletter as much as I enjoy creating it. See you soon in your inbox!
