Jennifer in 2008.
Jennifer Baumgardner was born in 1970. She was raised in a densely populated city in North
Dakota called Fargo, with her parents and two sisters, of which she was the middle child.
She attended high school in her hometown
and later travelled to Wisconsin, where she would study at Lawrence University
until graduation in 1992. While at Lawrence, Baumgardner contributed
to the organization of a feminist group on campus, and she also co-founded an
alternative newspaper that revolved around intersectional issues.
After graduation she moved to New York City, where she obtained an unpaid internship at Ms. Magazine and became their youngest editor of all time. At Ms. Magazine, Baumgardner would edit articles mainly about different feminism topics. The magazines slogan is "More than a magazine- a movement!", and this is exactly what Baumgardner was interested in and wanted to help further the movement.
