Since 1985, Minnesota Women’s Press (MWP) has been a trailblazer in feminist journalism, committed to amplifying the lived experiences, leadership, and stories of women and nonbinary individuals across Minnesota. Recognized as one of the longest-running feminist news platforms in the U.S., MWP publishes award-winning content both in print and online, grounded in community, lived experience, and a focus on actionable impact.
MWP distinguishes itself through “solidarity journalism,” prioritizing first-person narratives and elevating voices often absent from traditional media. By centering storytelling on real people and practical solutions rather than surface-level headlines, it connects journalism to civic engagement, encouraging readers to engage meaningfully with their communities. Its reporting spans local issues, culture, social justice, and leadership, consistently highlighting the contributions of everyday changemakers.
Facing challenges in the shrinking local news landscape, MWP sustains its mission through community support, including the Minnesota Changemakers Alliance, which fuels reporting that informs, inspires, and mobilizes action. For nearly four decades, Minnesota Women’s Press has not only chronicled change but actively contributed to shaping a more inclusive, engaged, and empowered state community.
