About Alaska Women Speak

By AWS Editors

Alaska is huge in its country and its viewpoints. AWS prints the writing of women from Barrow to Sitka. The viewpoints are from individuals who are part of a rainbow of cultural, ethical, racial and social backgrounds - all with the experience of living in Alaska. Some women grew up in Alaska, many did not; add a dimension of growing in different parts of Alaska or any state or country - and yet we call ourselves Alaskan.

Alaska Women Speak has a Theme for each issue which is advertised on this website and in the printed issue. The theme or topic serve as a catalyst for your writing. Each person brings their experiences and Alaskan perspective to each journal resulting in articles of great variety.

Since 1992 much of the history of AWS as an organization is the wonderful women who have been involved in this volunteer-based Alaska Women Speak .  

In 2003, Alaska Women Speak incorporated as a federal 501(c)3 nonprofit.
