As a young woman in the age of the Internet it seems that reading among the younger generation is becoming oblivious it seems like everyone is just online and no one is taking the time to pick up a book or newspaper. But I have realized that is not at all the case, in fact it is not disappearing but just excelling to another inevitable level that of the online magazines aka e-zines. So I have decided to take a look at and dissect the content of some of the best new e-zines directed at young women.

BITCH MAGAZINE

Yes, this is the actual name of the e-zine and I am proud that it is because it describes what most young women have to be today. Instead of running away from it these young ladies have decided to claim it and make it their own by adopting the motto BITCH, its a noun its a verb, it's a magazine. BITCH takes a cold, harsh look at the media-driven world that we as young women are living in and comments on whatever the hell they want about it. From its infamous shitlist which features a different public figure, magazine, film, book, etc. that pissed them off that month to their hard-hitting articles on the array of crap that females put up with in this country. I recommend BITCH because it may be the only magazine and e-zine that realizes that there are other things on the brains of young ladies other then guys, makeup, and clothes. BITCH dares to the tell the truth about what it really feels like to be a young lady today and they don't give a damn who knows it.

coolgrrrls.com

Since its creation in 1993 the Internet has turned the world into a virtual global village and coolgrrrls.com is one of the products of this global phenomenon. With its eclectic articles on the hottest clubs, book, stores, that women all over the world into it dares and wide range of international writers spouting the ideas and issues from all over the globe. coolgrrrls.com gives a chance to look at all the things that are going on in your world and how they can happen and do happen to other grrls and how they handle them. I am recommending coolgrrrls.com because it gives young ladies the chance to get up from their relate to other young women on an intellectual international level from Africa to Asia.

PLATFORM

Once again the virtual global bug is catching on even in the world of hip-hop which is experiencing its own vibrant resurgence at the moment . PLATFORM is a virtual fort know on urban information and articles written by people from all over the globe. It features five different sections that explore every aspect of hip-hop culture such as style, beats, and culture. It is a true mecca of info for any hip hop females. PLATFORM represents by filling itself with hip hop knowlegde and then allowing us to bath in it.
