Unearth Women is a women-founded travel publication with a mission to lift women’s voices and show travelers how to support women worldwide. We believe that travelers are uniquely positioned to positively impact a destination and its local women. With our Feminist City Guides, we show travelers how to find women and BIPOC-owned businesses in 40+ cities, helping them to support local entrepreneurs and learn about women’s history. With our Women to Watch interviews, we celebrate a wealth of diverse women and their accomplishments. With our Tips & Trends, we cover the latest in travel news and share practical advice for planning your next trip.
The name Unearth Women comes from the idea of unearthing women’s stories globally. Our goal is to lift women’s voices and provide a platform where women can feel heard and seen. In our Unearthed Stories, we share original reporting from a global network of freelance writers covering everything from women who are rescuing animals or launching companies, to women who are surviving war or on the frontlines of the pandemic.
Unearth Women started in 2018 as a print magazine sold in over 800 Barnes & Noble locations across the United States. Our print magazine filled a gap in the travel media landscape, allowing us to introduce a new kind of publication that both catered to the nuanced needs of women travelers and celebrated women’s stories. After four issues, we made the decision to fold our magazine and transition to a digital-only platform, with the ongoing mission to continue bringing our Feminist City Guides and women-centric stories to audiences worldwide. In 2022, Unearth Women made its way back into bookstores with the release of our new women’s travel book, Wanderess.
