Summary: Mmm mmm good
Comment: I don't want to be too wordy, so I'll just leave this review with a few reasons why I love BUST. First, I find it an uplifting and supportive magazine with articles that don't condemn conservative women with liberal political heretics. The magazine is more focused on creating a female support network than to aimlessly attack our patriarchal society. In that way, I actually find it a more effective means of literature in promoting female empowerment and feminism! Yee-haw!

Summary: The definition of third-wave feminism
Comment: Third wave feminism is often summed up be referencing this classic mag. It's a fun and intelligent read, and a genuinely viable alternative to the fluff generally marketed towards women.

Summary: Why Bust is Awesome
Comment: I started reading Bust when i was 16 and have been reading it for the past four years. Most magazines that were marketed towards my age bracket (17, Cosmogirl) felt so stupid and vapid, i mean, who really cares about cover up and what he is thinking? I wanted something...smarter...and funnier. And i found Bust! It's funny, b/c its one of the few magazines that has managed to still be engaging and entertaining and so awesome, even as i age. Not only that, its talks about politics and women based issues in a way that is humorous and not overly angry or preachy. And it has fashion! It's got fluff and substance and i like that.

Summary: Great magazine for girls/women who are a little or very offbeat
Comment: This is one of my favorite magazines. I've been reading it for around two years now. I'd say if you weren't inclined to liberalism, do it yourself projects (clothes and other things), feminism, or other somewhat "unique" interests in music, movies, and books this magazine isn't for you. You still might enjoy it, but I wouldn't suggest picking it up if any of those things listed don't interest or describe you.
This magazine does have its faults though. They act sometimes as if those who don't share their views are either less intelligent or just plain odd. That's not extremely usual, but you do run across it every now and then. It's not as if they put down other view points, but they do make a quiet point in letting the reader know what point of view is probably "preferred."
Still, it's a great magazine that brings something more to the table than just "how to get a man," "how to satisfy your man," or "Lindsay and Paris are the best!!" Also I love how women who are not incredibly mainstream are featured on its covers - and how the magazine targets different races and differet body shapes without making it a point to say that they are doing it to be nice to others (or to suddenly have these different images in an issue titled something like: 'Everyone is awesome! Girls should love themselves!'). They just do it because that's how women/girls are, which is greatly appreciated.
