Announcements

  • As anyone who has been reading Cahoots for the last 7 years knows, the magazine is run by one person. I'll tell you, I've had a heck of a time finding the time to get started again after my year away!

    But do stay tuned for new content that WILL BE UP by the first week in February 2012 -- I promise! I have loads of great articles and art waiting for their debut.

    If you have suggestions or comments or words of encouragement for me while we get the gears oiled again, please do contact me through this form.

Cahoots On-line

Cahoots is an alternative Canadian (yet is for women around the world) online magazine that is more than your typical women's magazine. Cahoots is a place for diverse, original, strong, humorous, fearless writing about things - such as work, health, home, life, the world - that really matter to women. It is about more than how we look or what we buy. Read more on our About Us page.
