This Month's Theme

May 2019 Table of Contents

“All these millions of girls that play sports across the country — we are teaching them great things about life skills, but wouldn’t it be great if we could teach them to watch how women lead?”
— Notre Dame women's basketball coach Muffet McGraw
Pivot Points

For me, being the lone woman in locker rooms with professional athletes was not about breaking barriers. It was about getting to the human stories. It is a pleasure in this issue to showcase the power of women engaged in sports and adventure.
2019 What Women Want

The results of our annual reader survey, based on 697 voters — what services and businesses do women prefer?
Think: Native Triathlon, Back to Black, Lynx Spotlight

Think is our roundup of some of the notable women's news stories of the month, generally related to the month's theme.

Storytellers

51 Days of Open Water

Grounded: Ebba Safverblad-Nelson writes about Femmes du Nord. "The silence rang in my ears. It was the absolute stillness of a lake as calm as glass and a landscape without trees. It was the silence of isolation — of the knowledge that we had put hundreds of kilometers between us and the last place where we had seen other people."
Being Outdoorsy

Adventure theme: Alora Jones writes about her experience with Outdoor Afro, which "offers opportunities to disrupt the common narrative that outdoor activity is reserved largely for white, male, and wealthy individuals. It offers opportunities to actively participate in creating a new narrative — one in which Black, female, queer, and underrepresented voices are centered and amplified."
A Wild and Alien World

Conscious Mind: Emeri Burks writes about her adventures underwater. "After you dive, how could you not find all life beautiful with this diversity? How could you not be moved to a state of humility?"

Readers Write

Voices on Sports & Adventure

Tapestry: Commentary of everyday women engaged with our monthly topic. This month's ask: How has sports or adventure been part of your life?
What Our Parks Need

Lynnea Atlas-Ingebretson was named by Governor Tim Walz to serve on the 17-member Metropolitan Council, which sets policy and provides services in the Twin Cities for public transit and mobility, wastewater treatment, regional parks, affordable housing, and more. She writes of her interest in strengthening parks and recreation.
Wave Rider

Jenny Schwietz owns eight surfboards and has become one of Lake Superior’s best-known year-round surfers. Reported by Jana Studelska.

Inspiring the Adventurer

BookShelf: Reporter Siena Iwasaki Milbauer talked with National Geographic adventurer Erika Bergman, a submarine pilot, and author Trudi Trueit, in their recent visit to the Twin Cities to talk about the new Explorer Academy book series for young people.
The Incandescent Detail

Art of Living: Maureen Aitken writes, "In that way, my writing was an act of love — a prayer in gratitude for what we had, and an antidote to all of the failed treatments. In this time we had together at the end, Mary Ann helped me see a way to survive by building an inner palace — a place no one could touch, both luminous and alive."

Specialty Topics

Healthy Sexuality

Kids Guide: Katie Thune writes of her career focused on helping young people, particularly those with development disabilities, develop healthy relationships based on consent. "We believe that by teaching all young people to become powerful self-advocates, we not only ensure a stronger community, but we do our part to reduce sexual violence and promote peace."
2019 What Women Want

The results of our annual reader survey, based on 697 voters — what services and businesses do women prefer?
The Plant-Based Revolution

Green Guide: “Eating meat is so inefficient,” Michelle Courtright says, listing the factors: “The energy use that goes into raising cattle. The land and water required for crops to feed the animals before you kill them. The methane alone from those animals is 26 times more powerful than the CO2 of all vehicles combined.”
