OUR MISSION

The Parlor is a feminist magazine publishing longform essays, investigative reporting, and cultural commentary that cuts across politics, technology, labor, motherhood, race, and body politics. We amplify voices that are too often sidelined—writers of color, queer voices, immigrant voices, and women who challenge the boundaries of power and storytelling.

​

We’re not here to flatter the status quo. Our pages dig into the intersections of identity and injustice, while also celebrating the creativity, resilience, and imagination that push culture forward.

​

As part of our mission, The Parlor also spotlights women and queer-owned businesses through our curated marketplace. Each feature connects our readers to makers and creators who embody the same spirit of independence and resistance found in our writing.

​

At its core, The Parlor is a gathering place for ideas and community—a space to think critically, dream boldly, and stand together in reimagining what’s possible.
