Through personal stories, essays and vanguard visuals Girls Like Us unfolds feminist legacies in arts and writing. Mixing politics with pleasure, the magazine is mapping new routes towards a feminist, post-gender future.

In this issue:

Welcome to your queer life.

A life along a line, or several.

A life through writing, images and objects.

Life as a sticky, messy pile of narratives and emotions.

Life not as singular and individual, but entangled and connected.
