Newly launched Kookie magazine aims to inspire ‘tweenage’ girls to look beyond fashion and beauty by publishing stories about strong female role models
Two mothers, frustrated by celebrity and pink-dominated girls’ magazines, have launched an alternative to give girls ‘a bigger, brighter view of their place in the world’.
Kookie does not feature any fashion or beauty coverage and is entirely free of advertising. Instead, it includes interviews with inspiring women, from scientists to athletes.“In an industry that often drums just one (very pink) message about being a girl, Kookie stands apart,” said founders and co-editors Vivien Jones and Nicky Shortridge. “Kookie celebrates all a girl can be. By featuring female role models, and encouraging readers to try new things, learn new skills and connect with girls in other cultures, Kookie shows girls that their value lies in who they are and what they can do.”
