I would like to second that.  Mother Jones happens to have 2 very prominent
feminists having very influential positions: Deirdre English who is executive
editor and Barbara Eirenreich (whose position in Mother Jones, I am not too
sure of).  Unlike most "serious" magazines, Mother Jones seems to have many
women participating in the running of the magazine (in fact women outnumber
men 3 to 1 in top positions in the magazine), which of course doesn't mean
much about the magazine except that it is unusual. Mother Jones herself, of
course was a feminist.
