“As head editors for two of my favorite women’s magazines – SHAPE and SELF – Tara Kraft and Lucy Danziger are huge inspirations to me! Not only are these women phenomenal at what they do (writing for, editing, and running their respective publications), but they practice what they preach by setting healthy examples for their readers.” – Lucy Casale ’13/HC St. Olaf Campus Correspondent
