Hollie Gowan: Co-Editor in Chief

Hi, I’m Hollie. I have loved writing since I was old enough to appreciate the feel of a leather journal and an ink pen. I am passionate about poetry, cosmicomics, owls and art. I put myself forward for the Lippy committee this year because I really wanted to explore my interest in Journalism and to really give voice to the issues that need discussing. I enjoy drinking coffee with friends, and talking the afternoons away.

Pippa Bailey: Co-Editor in Chief

Hi, I’m Pippa. I got involved with Lippy because I feel that there’s a real lack of intelligent comment in popular press aimed at women, and because I just enjoy a good, well-written argument. I also love music, creating things and writing lists.

Jo Gilbert: Secretary

Hi, I’m Jo. My interests include German film and feminist film criticism, which is why I enjoy writing for Lippy – I want to get more people interested in this type of writing, which I don’t feel is represented enough in the media. I’m always trying to offer a different, critical view of gender representations in film. Other than watching and writing about films, I love baking, gaming, drawing, and looking at silly things on the internet.

Ruth Finegold: Treasurer

Hi, I’m Ruth. I’m a third year studying childhood studies and I like spending my days playing guitar and riding my bike. I can’t yet do both at the same time, but I’m working on it. When I grow up I hope to become a primary school teacher and create generations of lovely, happy children.

Beckie Smith: Web Editor

Hi, I’m Beckie. I hope to help make Lippy a magazine which gives a voice to a range of views and opinions, and provides a high-quality alternative to  mainstream (and often disappointing) editorial material aimed at women! I love writing and a healthy debate: two things that coincide well, since I gave up writing fiction at a young age after realising that I am incapable of writing a happy ending. I also love travel, baking and live music.
