The Resurrection of Jezebel: A New Era Begins

Jezebel, a prominent women-centric website, has announced its closure after failing to find a buyer. The site, which played a significant role in shaping the way the internet talks about women, confronted issues such as unattainable beauty standards, fat-phobia, and sexist behavior from powerful men. Jezebel also played a crucial role in mainstreaming the ongoing fight for reproductive rights. Its closure marks the end of an important incubator for female writing talent and leaves a void in the media landscape.
