About VOICES -
VOICES, published by the Women’s Center, shares characteristics of both a literary magazine and a journalistic publication. We publish documentary writing, personal essays, and researched articles on specific topics as well as poetry, short fiction, drama, photography, and art. The magazine addresses issues relating to women and gender, but such a broad category allows for many different publication options. VOICES seeks to stimulate our readers’ perceptions of issues including sexuality, family, relationships, health and the body, coming of age, aging, cultural differences, race relations, creativity, athleticism, international issues, violence, government, legal issues, campus life, and many more. Gender is the common thread binding all the issues addressed in our pieces into a coherent and substantive publication.
Publication Team
This year’s editorial board includes the Women’s Center’s Program Coordinator (Soumya Natarajan), VOICS Content Editor (Suoyu Li), VOICS Layout Editor (Meghan Florian) and five enthusiastic Duke students. VOICES has been a part of Duke’s reading and thinking since the spring of 1993—this year will be its eighteenth publication.
