Literary journals and literary reviews make room for women's writing, thanks to VIDA

Thanks to the VIDA Count, times are a-changing in the literary world. According to a blog report by Rachel Peterson at the Review Review,

"many lit mag editors have stepped up to the challenge of ensuring gender parity. In just a few years, the literary landscape has changed and continues to change."

VIDA Women in Literary Arts is a grassroots nonprofit founded "to address the need for female writers of literature to engage in conversations regarding the critical reception of women’s creative writing in our current culture." 

Here's a partial list of literary journals jumping on board to take women's writing more seriously. Consider it the seafood watch of the writing world!
