the intersectional feminist
Our Story
IF is a pioneer online magazine dedicated exclusively to content relating to intersectional feminism. We are a group of young editors, writers, and illustrators from varied regional, cultural, and educational backgrounds.
In our shared vision for a better society, we aim to vocalize the ill effects of discrimination on the basis of social constructs such as caste, class, gender, race, and religion. We strive to celebrate diversity by representing varied geopolitical, ideological, and linguistic identities through our writing.
our past
Concerned about the lack of a platform to discuss feminist thought, a group of like-minded individuals who believed that their writings, voices and words have the power to provoke change, came together to start the IF Magazine.
our present
We are firm believers in freedom of expression and in pursuance of our beliefs, we share content under a spectrum of areas which revolve around intersectionality.
our future
IF is ambitious and hopes to be a significant entity in promoting a better future through inclusivity and feminism for everyone, regardless of their identities. It is more than a magazine; it is a revolution.
