Why subscribe?

You should subscribe because the internet is broad, wide, and often grim, and you don’t have the time or energy to plunge its depths for treasure yourself. Instead, you need us, Your Dames. With our magpie-minded tendencies, we comb through the morass of the internet and, each Friday evening, present you with a neat, funny, gif-peppered newsletter holding the most whimsical, charming, adorably off-kilter, fascinating, and powerful things we’ve encountered, along with whatever commentary and asides strike our impeccable fancies. And not just that! Once a month, we hand the newsletter over to a pair of guest editors, thus introducing you to not only the finest links the Internet has to offer, but also its Very Finest People.

Because Very Smart People Think We’re Great

To wit:

Two Bossy Dames is one of our very favorite ways to end the week. It's whip-smart and glamorously sassy. Get on board, or miss out on pure goodness.

-- Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, founders of Go Fug Yourself and authors of The Royal We

Two Bossy Dames has achieved the practically impossible: created a world that is intelligent, adorable, cozy, and somehow feels like you're cuddled in an embroidered cashmere blanket with your best girlfriends texting with Colin Firth. IN FOOTIE JAMMIES IN A LIBRARY. Margaret and Sophie are both brilliant, laugh-out-loud and read-out-loud funny, and will make you wish they had their own emoji.

-- Barrie HardymonNPR Goddess

The Two Bossy Dames newsletter is a ray of sunshine in my inbox each week. With sass, class, and delicious commentary on pop culture, history, and more, these two ladies help sharpen my critical side -- with a mad dash of GIFfage, twee-dom, and charm.

-- Kelly Jensen, Noted Feminist Killjoy, Internet Badass, and Unlikable Female Protagonist. Editor of the acclaimed YA anthothology Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World.

Why should you support Two Bossy Dames? Because the newsletter is a weekly dispatch from a magical pop culture landscape shaped by two curators whose thoughtful collections are delightful, so much so that their delight is exceeded only by the sincere and genuine exuberance with which they are presented.

-- Lisa SchmeiserWriter & Culture Critic of Our Hearts

We think that Such Service is quite a bargain at our rate of $7/month or $70/year, and we hope you will, too.

FAQ

How can I read a subscriber update?
