WICKED WISE WOMEN

About the Magazine

Wicked Wise Women is a print and digital keepsake magazine celebrating the women of Aroostook County — their beauty, resilience, and the businesses that support them.

Each issue features empowering editorial content, real stories from real women, and a free community directory of women-owned and women-serving businesses throughout The County.

If you’re a local business serving women, this is your chance to be seen by readers who are already engaged, already invested in their wellbeing, and already looking for businesses like yours.
