About

The F-Word: A Collection of Feminist Voices is a literary journal on campus, created to fill the feminist void here at Penn. Our mission is to provide an outlet for writing or art pertaining to feminism (broadly defined as respect for all individuals regardless of gender or sexual affiliation).

Check out pictures from the Spring 2007 and Spring 2008 FWord launch parties!
