BUST Magazine’s February/March Issue Featuring Cover Gal Nadya!
The stunning results of the presidential election have galvanized us here at BUST HQ to stand up to sexism like never before—and our new “Revolution” issue is all about fighting for our rights and coming together as women. On the cover, we’ve got Nadya Tolokno, the infamous Russian rabble rouser who was imprisoned for her feminist performances with her punk band Pussy Riot. Inside, we’ve got exclusive interviews with bell hooks, Ali Wong, and Ty Segall; a helpful guide for newbie activists who want to fight the power; a revealing investigation of the racial divides that plagued the suffrage movement in America; and an intriguing essay about balancing motherhood with a career in BDSM.
