For English Lit Majors

Girls at the Library

Girls at the Library has it all. Their aesthetic photos coupled with quotes from your favorite authors, upcoming events, and witty captions that will make every bookworm smile, will truly brighten the feed of any English Lit major. And, before you think it can’t better than that, they have an equally as exciting website that features interviews, literary reviews, and book recommendations that you can spend hours scrolling through.

For Business Majors

Girl Boss

What makes Girl Boss truly extraordinary is how tailored it is toward young, ambitious women, especially those with an interest in business and money management. Their feed is a combination between all-too-relatable memes, helpful tips and tricks to get your finances on track, and featured empowering women who provide daily feed inspiration. The account is also linked to a larger website where there is a seemingly endless supply of articles that driven woman should be reading.

For Political Science Majors

Feministabulous

Liz Plank who, in addition to being a rising feminist icon, is also a McGill alumn, is redefining what it means to be a young, political journalist today. Her social media presence is funny, relatable, and provides brilliant political commentary on current events. Plank also co-hosts the Vox series Consider It and frequents as a guest on MSNBC.

For Computer Science Majors

Girls Who Code

Girls Who Code is a nonprofit that works to support and empower women in the field of computer science. Their Instagram account is a must for any STEM major though and features outstanding students, inspirational quotes, and various programs to help continue the growth of female programmers. Girls Who Code will brighten any feed and truly demonstrates the empowering dedication that women in computer science have today.

For Any Graduating Student

Ladies Get Paid

Navigating the professional world is hard, ask anyone who has been affected by the gender gap in wages and workplace discrimination. As students, a big part of university is preparing us for the professional world. That being said, your world history course is not going to teach you how to advocate for yourself in the workplace. That is where Ladies Get Paid comes in. Ladies Get Paid is a powerful account and networking site with the goal of empowering professional women to advocate for themselves. The network provides endless opportunities for its members including connecting women from across the world, hosting conferences, and holding various online and in-person workshops.
