About the Magazine

Founded in 1976 | United States

empowering women, girls and trans and nonbinary people of every background to envision and enact change in their own lives and the larger community. What’s inside: Bold reporting and memoir, original fiction and poetry, and a lively take on tradition, celebrations and social change. About our name: According to legend, Lilith was the first woman, created even before Eve. She told Adam, “We are equal because we are created from the same earth.” For more, check out “The Lilith Question” from our premier issue and this source sheet of biblical and rabbinic references to Lilith.
