Satire and Sisterhood A Critical Look at The Galsight Magazine, Issue 002 The second issue of this feminist publication took me by quiet surprise. While I walked into this experience fully expecting a conventional magazine with articles on women empowerment, I was met with satire and sisterhood. With witty word plays such as ‘Glosshery’ and ‘Herbatim’ to an eye opening Bingo which truly made me reflect upon certain things women often tend to overlook, The Galsight proved to be a refreshing read, with a thoughtful take on feminism. What struck me most was the way the magazine blends humor with critique. The satire doesn’t dilute its politics; rather, it sharpens them. A lighthearted glossary can suddenly make you see the absurdities of everyday sexism, while a tongue-in-cheek feature opens space for conversations that a purely serious tone might alienate. This balance makes The Galsight approachable for young feminists still finding their vocabulary, while still engaging seasoned readers who crave fresh formats. While the design of the overall magazine could still be refined to make it reader friendly, in the larger ecosystem of feminist publishing, The Galsight carves out a distinctive niche. Unlike traditional women’s magazines that oscillate between empowerment slogans and lifestyle advice, or purely academic journals that risk alienating non-specialist readers, The Galsight situates itself in the in between part zine, part cultural critique, part inside joke between sisters. It speaks not just to feminists in theory, but to women in practice, in their everyday lives. As I closed the issue, I felt a mix of laughter and recognition, the kind of resonance that makes you want to hand a copy to a friend and say, “Read this, you’ll get it.” In that sense, The Galsight isn’t just a magazine; it’s a small flame in the larger feminist movement, one with the potential to grow into a roaring fire.
