Gather round, high-flying spinsters! The Good Friday Agreement has been signed, the US president is definitely *not* having sexual relations with that woman, and we are hitting New Labour's economic zenith : it’s 1998 and the Mag Hags are reading Marie Claire.


Franki is in the driving seat as the Mag Hags dive into plastic surgery tourism and ponder why Woman Of The Moment Gwyneth Paltrow is on the cover and yet mysteriously absent from the rest of the magazine. Elsewhere, Lucy gatekeeps singledom and there’s an exploration of the ultimate late 90s conundrum: how come you can be smashing the glass ceiling and *still* not hold on to a boyfriend?


Plus: a first-person account of being raised by lesbian mothers calls for an expert’s view, so Franki catches up with women’s mag editor and author of The Queer Parent, Lotte Jeffs. See more of Lotte's work at: https://lottejeffs.com/
