Riposte No. 9

Riposte is a smart magazine for women.

Each issue features five ideas, four meetings, three features, two essays and one icon.

Issue #9 is here to brighten up your winter. She is packed with fascinating women, inspiring stories and features to feed your brain. Have a look over what we've created for you and order your copy below. 

We have honest and up front conversations with a cast of powerfully brilliant women including trans activist and writer Janet Mock, director Melina Matsoukas, iconic graphic designer Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, Maria Alyokhina of Pussy Riot and fashion designer Peggy Noland.

Elsewhere we balance big issues alongside fun features all brought to life by specially commissioned visuals and photography.

We profile bold and fascinating women whose achievements speak for themselves. Our interviews are honest rather than being full of media trained responses as the women we feature candidly discuss their successes & failures, their work, their passions and perspectives.

Essays and features cover a broad range of issues including art, design, music, business, innovation, politics, food and travel.
We commission all creative content exclusively for each issue, working closely with all creative partners.
