Forbes is about "articles on the worlds of industry, finance, international business, marketing, law, taxes, science, technology, communications, investments, entrepreneurships, etc." Its not about understanding women in the working world. It should aim to include women in existing spaces, where none existed before, on every level and broaden coverage for women irrespective. Gender is a really dull dinstinction against what women around the world have achieved professionally.

So...what are some of the extra topics that you wouldn't see in other biz mags? I'd love to hear more details from people who are regular readers of Pink or other such magazines. Do health/beauty/fitness topics have a place in women's biz mags, for example?

It's a great read with many topics that may not be seen in general business magazines. I think women-specific magazines may have their place as long as they're done well and women (or even men) get good value from the content.
