My name is Abigail Jones, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new Sisterhood editor. I have always enjoyed the thoughtful, provocative conversations that take place here, and I am eager to continue the great work that Gabrielle Birkner started three years ago.

I come to the Forward by way of The Daily, where I launched and ran the publication’s web and social media presence for nearly two years. Before that, I wrote. A lot. And often about women. I am the co-author of the New York Times nonfiction bestseller “Restless Virgins: Love, Sex, and Survival at a New England Prep School,” which follows the social and sexual lives of seven teenagers. I have also written extensively about girlhood, art, culture, aging and more.

Enough about me; I want to hear from you. What do you want to read about in the Sisterhood? What topics matter most to you? Feel free to email me at [email protected]. You can also find me on Twitter at @abigaildj.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. Support our work by becoming a Forward Member and connect with our journalism and your community.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
