Lady is an online literary magazine of fiction, young adult fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry written by women. They publish writing by authors of all ages and backgrounds, showcasing the infinite nuances of female experience. At Lady, they hope to give all women the opportunity to share their stories—sad and happy, pretty and ugly, fun, boring, frightening, and all other emotive shades. They seek strong writing, layered with thought and meaning. To get a sense of what they publish, you can read past issues of Lady online.
