Hello, and welcome to Mag Hags - the culture and history newsletter that every modern woman should know. Join us as we dive even deeper into the glossy archives of women’s magazines to find out what's still hot and what's definitely not.
Mag Hags is an independently produced podcast and we set this newsletter up as a way for our listeners to support us.
