About Lilith Magazine:
Lilith Magazine is a not-for-profit quarterly publication that is unapologetically feminist and Jewish. While the magazine has included some advertising, the main sources of revenue are subscriptions, contributions and grants.
Mission: The initial mission was “to foster discussion of Jewish women’s issues and put them on the agenda of the Jewish community, with a view to giving women—who are more than fifty percent of the world’s Jews—greater choice in Jewish life,”
Today, the organization lists its mission as: "Lilith magazine charts Jewish women's lives with exuberance, rigor, affection, subversion and style." The cover of the magazine includes the tag line summarizing that mission: "independent, Jewish & frankly feminist."

The magazine is named for Lilith, with particular stress on modern feminist interpretations of Lilith as being the first wife of Adam who refused to let herself be controlled by either Adam or God.
