Hello, beloved paid subscribers!

I’m here today to introduce a new paid feature: A once-a-month issue of cultural Recommen-DAMES-tions on the subject of your choosing from me, Karen, and Sophie.

Each month, we’ll send you a poll featuring three possible themes for our picks, you will have a week to vote and decide which we pursue, and then within the month, you’ll receive your requested Recommen-DAMES-tions. The easiest way to explain it further is to implement it! So here goes:

We’ve come up with a list of three possible subjects for February and popped them into a poll (see below). You will have a week to pick your favorite before voting closes on Sunday, February 18th. And then we, Your Dames, will have a week to pick the culture we think best matches your requested prompt. On Sunday, February 25th, you will receive your February Recommen-DAMES-tion issue.

Here are the possible subjects for the month of February— vote your hearts out!

Thank you again for supporting our work with this newsletter and we hope this new feature feels as fun for you as it does for us. We are so excited to see what you pick!

XOXO/ Dame Margaret, with the full endorsement of Dames Sophie and Karen
