About

redrosethorns was founded on a fundamental belief: feminism is about empowerment. Inspired by the feminist practice of consciousness-raising, we publish writing that facilitates conversations about mental health, gender, sexuality, self-care, and empowerment. We welcome written work in any genre and any style.

Our mission is to inspire, motivate, educate, and forge connections within our international community. We recognise that our voices are our most powerful tool, enabling us to shape a society that embraces diversity and inclusion.
