Founded in 1996 by Debbie Stoller, Bust magazine was created to provide a voice for young women and to celebrate feminist culture. The idea came from Stoller's desire to create a publication that would challenge traditional media representations of women and offer a platform for diverse voices and perspectives. Today, Bust is owned by Bust Media, which continues to focus on empowering women through its content. Based in New York City, Bust covers a wide range of topics, including entertainment, lifestyle, politics, and health, with a strong emphasis on feminist issues and culture. The organization aims to connect with its audience by providing relatable and engaging content that resonates with women, serving as a valuable resource for those looking for inspiration and information. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of Bust is that it was one of the first magazines to embrace the DIY (do-it-yourself) ethos, encouraging readers to take control of their own creativity and express themselves through various forms of art and activism. This focus on empowerment and self-expression has helped Bust build a loyal community of readers and contributors.
