As we take a moment to regroup this holiday season and start to plan for 2025, I’m reflecting on some of the most important stories we covered this year at Ms. We focused on the issues that matter most to women—especially when it came to issues that the mainstream media establishment has often overlooked, but that we’ve been paying attention to for a long time. Here are six of them.
The year 2024 had promised an era of women rising to the top. This was spectacularly highlighted by the historic presidential run of Vice President Kamala Harris, who had mounted an unprecedented campaign in just over 100 days. Sadly, Harris fell short of the necessary votes.
2024 nonetheless demonstrated that women still hold powerful sway across our popular culture, even as they struggle for the highest political position. We continue to hold onto hope for a feminist future with more opportunities for gender and racial breakthroughs, which are still possible because they have been imagined and envisioned in our pop culture. Here are our picks for the year’s top 10 feminist moments.
In a year filled with groundbreaking storytelling, feminist documentaries released this year inspired, educated and sparked vital conversations. Here are some of the best feminist documentaries streaming in 2024.

As 2024 comes to a close, we look back on the feminists we lost this year.
Every day of 2024, Ms. writers and editors set out to create content that empowered, informed and infuriated readers. We sought out the truth, sounded alarms, asked tough questions, mourned feminist losses (and feminists we lost), looked to gender justice advocates abroad, and handed the microphone over to experts. Dear reader: As we enter a new year and a new era of the movement, we promise you more of this.

This week’s winter solstice marks the beginning of the winter season when the darkness reaches its peak in the Northern Hemisphere. But with the solstice comes the promise of brighter days ahead. After today, the days will gradually grow longer—reminding us that light and hope are just around the corner, even in the darkest times. […]
“The most powerful and trusted messenger you have in reaching your community is you.”
“Half this country is female, and half is composed of people of color. Until those exclusions are gone, we are not living in a true democracy.”
“Keep it moving. That’s the only way.”
“Anyone can lead, especially on the issues that they care about.”
Some thoughts to keep us going.
“A bird may sing in Kabul, but a girl may not.”
“I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too.”
“Our ability to end a pregnancy with just a few pills—safely, privately, at home and without shame—was too much for them to take.”

“Birth control really screws up female brains.”
A collection of this year’s most inspiring and infuriating things said by and about women.
Now what? That’s what feminists have been wondering since we lost the bright promise of a Kamala Harris presidency on Nov. 5.
We asked Ms. contributing editor Carrie Baker to point the way. For the upcoming issue, she spoke to some of the many leaders and organizations preparing to safeguard decades of hard-fought gains for women and girls, now threatened by the Trump administration and its Project 2025. What she uncovered is a fierce resistance ready to defend our rights at the federal level—and creatively expand equality protections in the states.
All this and so much more awaits you in the Ms. Winter 2025 issue. And, for a limited time, you can get a year of Ms. for just $20—a 43 percent discount from our usual price!
