Journal Description

SHE.NEXT: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Women in Power, Style, Science, and Society

SHE.NEXT is a groundbreaking, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that explores the evolving dimensions of womanhood in the 21st century. With a bold interdisciplinary lens, the journal bridges the gap between traditionally siloed domains—bringing together science, technology, health, humanities, fashion, governance, and media to showcase the diverse and transformative roles women play in shaping the present and the future.

Rooted in intersectional feminist scholarship, SHE.NEXT redefines academic boundaries by embracing both the empirical and the experiential, the analytical and the aesthetic. The journal serves as a dynamic platform for researchers, policymakers, cultural theorists, health professionals, creatives, and technologists to engage in critical dialogue and contribute cutting-edge research that reflects the complexity of women’s lives, bodies, work, and influence across sectors and societies.
