Current media offerings tend to leave the impression that women don’t make much news in the world. GirlsGerms hopes to balance things out a little.

My aim is to provide a central place to find news about Australian women and any other important news and information relevant to women. You won’t find celebrity gossip, beauty tips, recipes, house & garden makeovers, etc. They’re well catered for in the plethora of print and online magazines already out there. Instead, GirlsGerms will cover news across a range of interest areas and will focus predominantly on Australian information – although international material will be included where it’s relevant to us girls in Oz.

There are eight different news sections for you to browse – arts-media, business, community, education, government, nature, science-tech, and sport (check out the different categories across the top menu bar). You can also look for specific topics in the interest area tag cloud on each page – and if you want to discover some of the women who have led the way in Australian life, check out WOMENfirst. Some of these milestones have taken a while to reach – and keep in mind these were often occupations and achievements already commonplace for men.

GirlsGerms isn’t an feminist or anti-male publication. Women and men are equally welcome to visit. So please, enjoy reading some real news about women in Australia – and if you have some news you think others may be interested in, please send a short email to me using the contact link at the bottom of the page.

Cheers,

GGeditor
