The Latest Lily cartoon, as the Wash Post subsumes its identity

I was struggling with money. Here's how I learned to finally talk about it.

and here's the note about losing their identity -

The stories that touch us most deeply are the ones that reflect our own lives. This was a guiding principle when we launched The Lily in 2017 to elevate the voices of millennial women.

Since then, we've told important stories about the latest in the abortion debate, history-making firsts and the pandemic's impact on women. And we've so looked forward to bringing these stories straight to your inbox every Monday and Thursday.

Today, we are excited to announce that this groundbreaking coverage is expanding on The Washington Post. You can now find our stories on the Gender and Identity page, and across The Post's website.

TheLily.com will no longer be updated, but our archival stories will still be available to read. We'll be updating the Gender and Identity page regularly, so head there to stay up-to-date with our latest stories.
