"This is truly the best women's news magazine I have ever read. Political feminism, world news, liberal views, lesbian and bisexual representation, empowerment, resources, letters…things which matter to thinking women. Helpful and insightful. Go girl!"

"Your January oob is the best issue of a feminist periodical I've read in a long time. Every article was good, so good that, honestly, I couldn't sleep the night I read the paper."

"I should write a long letter mentioning all the articles that I've really liked or have been influential on me. . .but for now I'll just say thanks. oob is the last vestige of feminism."

"I've been reading your wonderful paper since I was a teenager and I want to say thank you for all of your hard work."

"I am writing to you today to say thanks for the awesome newsjournal that you produce. I remember when, a few years ago, I discovered your journal in a small progressive shop that provided me with feminist resources. As a young woman who was questioning the many things she heard and saw around her, it was a relief to find out that other women also questioned the establishment. Without journals like yours, many young women might never be able to access the feminist community."

"I am a 15-year-old high school student and one of the few feminists in my area. Oob provides me with news and articles about things I really care about. It provides a link to other feminists and I don't feel so alone any more. If it wasn't for your newsletter, I don't know what to do. Thanks for being such a positive influence in my life."
