Knowledge is Infinite Issue
Math, history and science, these words may send chills down a person's spine, but they seem to be the lifeblood of humankind as we know it. They are filled with facts. Things we can quantify - see, taste, touch, smell and hear. Everything we encounter depends on knowledge in some way. Cell phones function through complicated math problems, are the culmination of technological history and are made of minerals found exclusively in the Congo.This issue considers young women's pursuit and use of knowledge as well as its role in their lives. Alive Magazine exists to enable young women to use knowledge to change the future.

Charting Your Course
Storms, curveballs, mountains and valleys - regardless of the metaphor you choose, life is hard, and surprising. We can never predict the future but we continue to try. Some women want to be president and change policies while other women want to be mothers and recycle. Regardless of occupation or lifestyle, everyone has a hand in how the world spins. There is no question of whether young women will act or what we will face, the question is how we will get there. What course are you charting to fill your unique role in the world. |

Choose Your Own Adventure
As children we read about adventures and created our own make believe scenarios. As we grow we begin to relax our grip on the importance of adventure. Chores, expenses and reality take priority over adventure. Many fail to see that adventures are more within reach than ever before. We possess the skills, resources and the imagination (if we dig it up) to have our own adventure. Alive Magazine dedicated this issue to the adventures young women can and do take everyday. |
