Lena Dunham might already have writer, producer, actress and author checked off on her CV - thanks to hit series Girls, film *Tiny Furniture *and memoir *Not That Kind Of Girl - *but she's not content to stop there: she's launching her own newsletter.
The news bulletin named 'Lenny' will be aimed at millennials and will round up thoughts on contemporary feminism, as well as fashion.
Lena is launching the new venture in collaboration with her *Girls *production partner Jenny Konner and told* Buzzfeed* it's for: “like-minded intellectually curious women and the people who love them, who want to bring change but also want to know, like, where to buy the best tube top for summer that isn’t going to cost your entire paycheck.” We hear you Lena.
“The internet feminism conversation can be very circular and limiting and exclusive,” Lena elaborates. “And it saddens me to see that a lot of the competition is about saying ‘you’re not feminist enough’: trying to kick people out of feminism rather than bring them in. And Lenny is an opportunity to say, ‘There are many different types of feminisms, and we can work together.’”
She's already launched a sign-up page which reads "An email newsletter where there's no such thing as too much information."
Pieces will be written by staff writers from a roster of popular women's titles like Rookie and Jezebel, as well as Lena's famous friends. We hear Taylor Swift has a knack for bringing about change with her writing (that Apple piece, anyone?) so perhaps she'll step up to the plate for her pal...
The pair plan to launch the newsletter in September.
