In our four years, we’ve gotten rave reviews in the New York Times and Newsweek. We’ve attracted a passionate, loyal band of readers who are upfront about their feelings. One reader wishes “UnderWire was a magazine, so I could read it in the bathtub.” Another reader tells us that her boyfriend cruises our site and “has learned a lot of things from reading about what women want, enjoy and yearn for.”
We publish stories on everything from the high cost of babedom to racism in the South, from Molly Ivins’ salty political commentary to Vivian Gornick on love’s future. We offer Miss Manners’ etiquette advice and the scoop on relationships from Dr. Joy Davidson and Rhona Raskin. We give you answers to questions on fitness, money and fast cars. And don’t forget our provocative interviews and those colorful quizzes from the infamous Sandy Hingston.
Don't miss Lucille's Q&A;, our new column on car care. Stay tuned later this year for the debut of Dating Dilemma, a new interactive feature. Here are some of our favorite things:
