History
Weave was established by Laura E. Davis and Margaret Bashaar in May 2008. It ensures that at least half of the work in each issue is created by women.[3] Weave's vision of diversity has since expanded to feature work by LGBT writers, writers of color, writers of age and disabled writers, among other marginalized voices.[4] Davis served as the editor-in-chief.[1]
