Women’s eNews reports the stories of women and girls to create a more equitable world.
We are an award-winning nonprofit (501c3) news service covering issues of particular concern to women and providing women’s perspectives on public policy.
With writers and readers around the globe Women’s eNews’ audience stretches from New York City to New Delhi and all points between, totalling 50,000 annual subscribers and reaching an estimated 3.5 million readers each year.
Women’s eNews grew out of a 1996 roundtable discussion conceived and funded by the Barbara Lee Family Foundation and hosted by the NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund. After additional research on the need for a media outlet to distribute news of concern to women and the opportunity to provide women’s voices to commercial media, NOW Legal Defense underwrote in 1999 the creation of Women’s eNews as an Internet-based news service for all women, with a special emphasis on being a resource for commercial media. Two years later, NOW Legal Defense determined Women’s eNews could sustain its success and stand on its own.
Women’s eNews became independent on January 1, 2002, under the direction of award-winning investigative journalist, Rita Henley Jensen.
