Lenny Letter, also known as Lenny, is a weekly online feminist newsletter created by Lena Dunham and Jennifer Konner.
History
In September 2015, Dunham and Konner started Lenny Letter as a self-funded project that would give a platform to young female voices to discuss feminist issues. The newsletter features political essays, personal stories, interviews, artwork and even an advice column from Dunham and Konner themselves called "Letters to Lenny." Benjamin Cooley is the CEO. Laia Garcia has been Deputy Editor since July 2015.
One notable article was an essay written by actress Jennifer Lawrence about the gender wage gap in Hollywood.
Lenny Letter is supported by Hearst Corporation advertising.
In addition to the regular newsletter, Lenny Letter published a Fiction Issue and a Poetry Issue during fall 2015. Lenny Letter is developing a book imprint at Random House and a possible HBO short film series.
