THE EXPERT
About Reductress
The first and only satirical women’s magazine, Reductress was founded in 2013 by Beth Newell and Sarah Pappalardo. The mission of Reductress is to take on the outdated perspectives and condescending tone of popular women’s media. Previous editorial staff includes Anna Drezen, Rachel Wenitsky, Jasmine Pierce, Taryn Englehart, Nicole Silverberg, Taylor Garron, and Eva Victor.NYTimes: “That the site registers as sincere to some readers could be seen as a mark of its skill, akin to Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, retweeting The Onion.”
Wired: “Three years ago, Reductress was a likeably scrappy time-filler; now, it’s essential reading.”
The Washington Post: “Yes, you can tell a feminist rape joke. This website just showed us how.”
Cosmopolitan: “Reductress has become one of the most popular humor sites on the internet.”
