International Women’s Day is on March 8 and in honor of it, I’ll be accepting essays on women, gender and culture for the next few weeks to publish at ianyanmag.com. If you’re interested, please send me an email at editorial@ianyanmag.com. Contributors can be of any background and gender, and your piece will be read internationally.
Here’s a few essays we’ve published before in honor of March 8:
Queer/Armenian, Split Identity
Experiences as an Armenian Woman
I hope one day, I can turn these narratives into something bigger than just prose on the internet.
The two photos you see above were put together by me. They feature quotes by the women pictured, both poets and writers of Armenian descent from years past.
And even though much of what is on ianyan is related to Armenian-ness, I can’t stress how much I’d love to see people of all backgrounds submit any prose they think would be appropriate in honor of the day. This could be personal experiences, photography, commentary or even hard news journalism.
Aww yeah gettin’ down to business. :D
