In today's world, stereotypes and assumptions fill people's minds when they begin to think of women and their collective life experiences. Mien Magazine aims to give women authors and artists an outlet to directly address society's beliefs in a memorable way. Instead of distributing a written prompt, Mien gives potential contributors the cover photo as a prompt. The cover art, always of a woman's expression, is interpreted by creators however they choose. Contributors create art which speaks to their personal experience and the emotion portrayed by the cover.
