I've done this before, and was in the exact same boat as you. I didn't have anyone in my personal life who needed/was looking for one, so I just emailed Zawn and explained that I'd like to gift a year membership to whoever she had at the top of her list of women who needed a scholarship. Email Zawn (at) Zawn (dot) net
Zawn, your work finally put words to feelings/thoughts I'd had throughout my whole marriage (and even my whole life!). You gave me permission to be angry, and then you gave me a guide on how to use that anger in the most productive and healthy way for my kids and myself. Within two years of reading your work, I quiet quit my marriage until I had everything in order to leave, and then I successfully left my marriage, and now I am living the life I actually want. Thank you for your work 🙏
I get so much out of your work - I read your articles every day, absolutely LOVE the podcasts (honestly one of my two favourite podcasts and I listen to many) and love your collaborations with incredible women like Kaitlyn Jorgensen, Emma Katz, Kate Manne and so many others. The amount of work you put into this space is prodigious and membership is excellent value for the tiny cost.
Hello dear Zawn. I’ve been a paid subscriber since July but I do not get any emails or information about any benefits that come with membership. I get email notifications of the payment, but nothing else I’ve left several messages and I’m not sure how to actually get on your list! Do I need to unsubscribe and try it again?
When you signed up, you should have gotten an email with information on how to get free merch and join the liberating motherhood support group. To get the merch, email zawn@zawn.net with your mailing address and put "merch address" in the subject line. Info on how to join the support group is here: https://www.liberatingmotherhood.org/community
For anyone reading this and considering subscribing, I can’t put into words just how valuable Zawn’s work is and how impactful it has been to me. I know there’s tons of writers with paid memberships on here and you can only subscribe to so many. This is my only paid subscription and as many others I’ve seen I’m interested in, for as long as I can only afford one, it will be Liberating Motherhood. This was the first work of its kinda I ever stumbled across. No other publication has ever come close to truly seeing women and the quite frankly horrors we go through and naming it directly. Zawn’s work has been a light, a unique place where our inner world is actually deeply seen, and at times a really hard reality check. I came across this work at a really formative and volatile time in my life but it was when I most needed it. In conjunction with my personal circumstances and stage of growth/learning journey Liberating Motherhood has truly impacted me in the deepest of ways. Get the subscription, or gift it to a woman in your life, I know you know at least one that needs it.
I am beyond thrilled to finally join your community, after years of so keenly following you and raving on about you to so many solo mums groups online who might benefit from your incredibly wise and well articulated feminist insights.
You have changed my life (and therefore my daughter’s life also!)
You are one of a kind 🙏🏾
With so much gratitude and reverence for all that you do for womankind
