Singer Joan Osborne Launches Webzine

Posted on September 8, 2000

Grammy-nominated singer Joan Osborne has announced the launch of her new webzine for women, Heroine Magazine. Heroine tells the stories of extraordinary females -- of their passions, struggles, and achievements.

Osborne, as both an artist and an activist, has chosen to create a deeper choice for women in a culture of magazines and websites that overdose on beauty and fashion. Instead, Heroine will focus on the defining moments and true beauty of women's lives. The premiere issue of Heroine will feature an interview with singer Mary J. Blige, a conversation about political activism between Susan Sarandon and The Indigo Girls, and the work of photographer Mary Ellen Mark.

Osborne says in a statement, "I love how the Internet is changing the way we communicate with each other. A magazine can be more like a club who's members share things that excite them. I'm always looking for ways to be inspired, and Heroine is a great way to spread that inspiration around, a place to go to meet women who can open your mind and engage your spirit."
