Two years before the Feminist Times launched Female Arts was born. This online magazine, aimed at those who they describe as 'interesting' people within the arts, is a volunteer run network designed to promote women in performing, visual and literary arts across the UK.

Female Arts regularly reviews everything from exhibitions to comedy, as well as listing upcoming events, interviewing inspirational women, and featuring companies and festivals from all corners of the UK and beyond.

The magazine maintain that women are not equally represented in the arts or in business - ranging from a lack of roles for women over 40 on television and in theatre, to glass ceiling senior roles in business, to unequal pay. Female Arts wish to promote women in an attempt to redress what they call "this gender imbalance".

They're interested in both fringe and mainstream, so if you're involved with a project you think they'd be interested in, get in touch, they're awfully friendly.

Support Varsity

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!

Therefore we are asking our readers, if they wish, to make a donation from as little as £1, to help with our running costs. Many thanks, we hope you can help!
