From Me to You

What Makes a Woman of the Year in 2016?

his issue marks 26 years of Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards—26 years of winners who have pushed and prodded our culture forward. There have been some astonishing honorees over those decades, all dishing valuable advice. (When asked back in 1992 what her chief accomplishment was, Whoopi Goldberg responded, “Staying who I am with very little compromise.” Still what we all aspire to!) But this year feels special, and it feels different—as if together we are starting to own our power as women in this country. Not just because we may be poised to elect our first female president (WOTY class of 2008!), and not just because terms like feminism and empowerment are being thrown around regularly (that’s nice, but not necessarily world-changing). No, this is about something deeper: Every where you look, women are raising their voices, unwilling to let old-fashioned concepts of what we should be or do or look like hold us back. If you want more of that in your own life in 2017, our Women of the Year offer some hints on how to get there. One of the common themes I hear them talking about: that it’s crucial to find a way to get over your hang-ups (yes, they have them too—and over the same superficial issues as you and me). Years ago,

in an interview, Christine Lagarde—the financial force honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award on page 220—was asked for advice on commanding a room. She responded that “it’s a question of feeling confident about yourself, being reconciled with your own identity—and your own body, actually. I remember Hillary Clinton not long ago addressing the IMF staff and saying, ‘Stop being obsessed about losing weight. Be OK with yourself.’… She’s right. You have to first of all be OK with yourself, accept who you are.… It’s hard, but I think being reconciled with your body and your identity is step one.” I was struck by that—who knew the head of the IMF had advice on getting over your thighs? But the point is clear: These women have seen that you can do great things in life when you find some way to park your doubts at the curb. Woman of the Year Miuccia Prada (page 208) told me that when she was in her early thirties, she went through a bout of insecurity about aging, but got over it. “Now it’s not that I don’t know that I’m aging, [it’s that] I don’t care,” she says. “Why can’t oldness be attractive?” So how did she banish the anxiety? In part, through work. “You don’t think about aging,” she says, “if you have something better to think about.” But back to Lagarde. If being cool with your body is step one on the path to aweGwen Forever! someness, what’s step two? “There are limits put on women, but why?” asks our cover star.

These days, the most powerful acts are personal. And yes, men are welcome to the party too.

From Me to You

“The second step,” she said, “is about being honest and telling the truth, not covering up and pretending you are somebody that you are not deep down inside.” And this is key: So many of this year’s honorees rose to greatness not just through big, public achievements (corner offices! Grammy wins!) but also through speaking their truths, often on very personal topics. Zendaya (page 216) was a successful young Disney star, but she became a standout role model—and a Woman of the Year—when she began being honest on social media about everything from racism to beauty ideals. On a graver note, the young activist Nadia Murad (whose story, on page 206, you must read) started a global quest for justice simply by sitting down with an aid organization to detail her own experience of Advisory Board—made up of past winners, plus our editors— being kidnapped and enslaved by ISIS. has put the kibosh on naming a Man of the Year on the grounds The point is that we can all start to inch closer to our own that men aren’t exactly hurting for awards in this world, and power by being honest.

What Little Act of Courage Inspired You This Year? Our December contributors reflect. “Watching an amazing Syrian family—a pregnant mom, her husband, and two toddlers—move to the U.S. with nothing. I wrote about them for The New York Times Magazine in January, and they were finally cleared by the State Department to come to the U.S. in September.”

“When members of the United States Women’s National Soccer Team stood up to the U.S. Soccer Federation, bringing awareness to women’s rights to the same pay as men. They are inspiring on and off the field.” —Miguel Reveriego, who shot cover star Gwen Stefani (page 202) and Ashley Graham (page 222)

“Alicia Keys’ going to the VMAs makeupfree. It was a breath of fresh air to see her stand up to the pressure to conform to beauty norms.” —Kathryne Hall, Glamour’s deputy photo editor, pictured here at the International Monetary Fund headquarters; she produced the Women of the Year portfolio, which starts on page 202

“Geneva Reed-Veal’s testimony at the Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls about the death of her daughter Sandra Bland. It’s hard to imagine how she had the capacity to stand in front of elected officials and journalists at all, but her pain and anguish was felt by thousands, and she pushed the conversation about how black women in America are treated further into our national consciousness.” —Collier Meyerson, who wrote about the women founders of Black Lives Matter on page 218

“Elizabeth Warren’s spending her sixtyseventh birthday at a House sit-in to push for gun reform. She’s relentless in fighting for what she believes in, and her passion and dedication inspire me.” —Gillian Laub, above with her daughter, Shiloh; she photographed the Black Lives Matter cofounders on page 218

“The photo of Omran Daqneesh, the Syrian boy who sat bloodied and dusty from bomb debris earlier this year, touched my heart. At five, he is already a vet: His brother was killed in an air strike, and war is all he’s ever known. And yet he sat there bravely and stoically.” —CNN’s chief international correspondent, Christiane Amanpour, who interviewed Bono on page 212

“We were inspired by 11-year-old Marley Dias, who started the #1000blackgirlbooks movement. Frustrated by being assigned only books about white boys and dogs, she took action and proved that anyone at any age can make a change.” —Rob Zangardi, far right, and Mariel Haenn, who styled Gwen Stefani for the cover

the wardrobes of women everywhere. Instead of constricting styles, he emphasized comfort and versatility in everything from evening wear (as in his 1971 collection, top) to work looks (as in his highly successful Piet Mondrian–inspired creations, like his 1965 collection, above).

He understood that, as he once famously said, “what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.” Still need convincing? Visit the Seattle Art Museum’s newest exhibition, “Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style,” now through January 8. —Jennifer Lance

When I found out that dozens of young people—like Jasilea Rose Charger, above, of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe— were running 2,000 miles to Washington, D.C., to hand-deliver a petition, I felt a surge of pride. They were protesting the construc-

tion of the Dakota Access Pipeline in the Midwest and wanted the Army Corps of Engineers to hear their concerns. I’m 26, and my generation is often unfairly portrayed as narcissistic. But when the Native Americans of Standing Rock learned their water supply and heritage sites were being threatened, it

was their youngest members who fought back: A 13-year-old “water protector” costarted a change.org petition (garnering 300,000 signatures!). And the three-week-long relay to D.C.? Young women helped organize that too. We can all learn from their courage, whatever our issues. —Concepción de León glamour.com 63

Joan, Emily, Kate—our cover stars were an awesome trifecta.

October, Whoa

Models, feminism, politics—here’s what you had to say about the issue’s hot topics. Love @joansmalls for @glamourmag Oct. We need diversity in fashion and magazines. #DiversityRules #beautyisdiverse —@JaniceDeul, via Twitter @KateUpton = baller. @glamourmag —@PatrickMillsaps, via Twitter @emrata Thank you so much for your latest article in @glamourmag. Women deserve to feel empowered by their sexuality, not imprisoned by it. —@na_lomb, via Twitter Such an important conversation. You nailed it, @emrata. No more apologies. @glamourmag —@dariadel, via Twitter Why Madonna gets criticized & Mick Jagger gets applauded: #Preach @emrata! #doyou #doublestandards #defyexpectation —@rosariodawson, via Twitter

And About the Month’s Other Top Stories... I can’t get “My Dating Profile Says Breast Cancer Survivor” out of my head. I’ve struggled to find the right time in dating to disclose I’m a survivor of sexual assault. It’s the absolute worst to bring it up right before things start to heat up. I just added “I appreciate when my date…understands consent” to my Coffee Meets Bagel profile. Small steps. Thank you. —Amber H.H. Porter, Rio Rancho, N.M.

The article “2016: This Time, It’s Personal” angered me. Your reporters talked to “thousands of young women in Iowa, New York, Cleveland, Philadelphia, San Francisco….” They’re mostly blue states! How do you expect to have an objective article if you don’t print an equal number of letters representing both sides? With Clinton and Trump in such a close race, the letters should have been more balanced. —Colleen Penor, Bar Nunn, Wyo. The past few issues have been so inspiring they’ll probably live on my bookshelf forever. Who said you can’t read about politics and beauty all in the same place? —Grayson Koda, West Nyack, N.Y.

WHERE HAS YOUR GLAMOUR BEEN? “Keeping me warm in Alaska’s Kenai Fjords National Park on a trip for my dad’s 65th birthday!

Inside the Making of

Women of theYear

ZENDAYA: ASHLEY TALIENTO. PRABAL GURUNG DRESS, JENNIFER FISHER EARRINGS

How do we choose our honorees? What goes down behind the scenes? Come take a look.… By Ashley Edwards Walker

wonderful thing happened in 2016: Women spoke out—loudly—on the issues that matter to them most. Zendaya, above, talked publicly when she felt a store clerk had treated her unfairly because of her skin color. Ashley Graham, in a picture worth a million words, showed how sexy any woman can be when she posed for the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. And an anonymous young woman who’d been sexually assaulted by a Stanford University student refused to remain silent as he was sentenced in court, writing a state-

ment so powerful it made the world sit up and take notice. Those are just three of Glamour’s 2016 Women of the Year. Their words and actions are changing the conversation on heady topics including racism, body stereotypes, and sexual violence—problems that often seem intractable and unsolvable. “This is the year women are rising together,” Zendaya tells Glamour. “Whatever it is that you care about, just by being vocal about it you’re making a step forward. Raise your voice as a woman.” Amen to that. Let the following pages give you the inspiration to join in and say what’s on your mind.

Inside Women of theYear

“I’ve always loved storıes about women” Meet director Brandon Milbradt, who has filmed superstars, world changers, and war survivors for Women of the Year. She’s been taking notes on their life strategies.

n September, as world leaders gathered for the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, Brandon Milbradt set up to film Nadia Murad. When the human rights activist, who was enslaved by ISIS before escaping and taking the terrorist group to court, mentioned she felt cold, Milbradt instinctively wrapped her arms around her. “I instantly felt how fragile, and strong, this young woman is,” says the director. Connecting to her subjects is at the heart of everything she films. Milbradt, who has created films of our honorees for the past two years (watch the 2016 winners at glamour.com/woty), had moments like that with everyone from Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, to rock star Gwen Stefani. Milbradt’s goal? To capture the complexity of wom-

en’s lives—something she’s doing in her other projects Female Power Gaze as well. For one, Milbradt Milbradt, is developing a new HBO left, on set show based on Margaret with Murad Atwood’s best-selling trilogy MaddAddam. She’s also adapting OG feminist Anaïs Nin’s 50 most acclaimed short stories, and writing and producing Pinkbox, one of the first original series for virtual reality. You can bet she has a few takeaways from all that experience. Here she shares them with you: Find your mantra. “Growing up, I didn’t even know that being a director was a thing!” says Milbradt. “It wasn’t until my twenties that I met a friend who was directing music videos and I started producing and cowriting with him. My mom had told me that women from her genera-

tion had three options: nurse, teacher, or flight attendant. She was a nurse. But she was always playing Helen Reddy’s song ‘I Am Woman’ when we were in the car, and I still conjure it up—‘I am woman, hear me roar’—whenever I have to pitch executives and make things happen. It reminds me to pull my shoulders back and remember there is a sisterhood, in numbers too big to ignore.” Get out of your comfort zone. “My happy place is in a used book store. About a year ago, I picked up a tattered copy of Anaïs

Christine Lagarde

Gwen Stefani

Managing director of the International Monetary Fund “Traditionally in meetings, the men look at the men. But if Lagarde is in the room, people look at her. I asked if she’d gotten that famous quote of hers, ‘Grit your teeth and smile,’ from sexism. But she said, ‘No, I learned it in synchronized swimming.’ I love it. If I say it under my breath in French, it’s a powerful statement for any situation.”

Singer and fashion designer “I am quite sure she is lit from within. It’s as if I didn’t even need to bring lights to film her! As a musician, she pushes boundaries and is so eclectic. I was really curious to meet her. One of her sons was running around the set, and I watched her go from doting mother to ultimate professional in front of the camera. She’s such a unique mix of quiet, personable, playful—and bold.”

MILBRADT AND MURAD: KATHRYNE HALL. MILBRADT: JASON BELL; STYLIST: SARAH COBB AT THE WALL GROUP; HAIR: JOHN RUIDANT AT SEE MANAGEMENT; MAKEUP: REBECCA RESTREPO AT TRACEY MATTINGLY; SET DESIGN: MAGGIE O’TOOLE AT MARY HOWARD STUDIO. ROIG-DEBELLIS: NORMAN JEAN ROY

in a patriarchal world, which would be brave in 2016; in the 1940s it was unheard-of. There’s a great quote that is often attributed to her: ‘And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.’ Those words changed my life. Up until I read them, I had always believed I was the wallf lower, the shy girl, the woman who was great at helping others realize their dreams. Anaïs reminded me that I also have stories I want to tell and changes I want to make in the world.”

Nin’s A Spy in the House of Love, and even though I’d read it 20 years before, I was shocked at how deeply her words still affected me. In short: I wanted it. This was my first time going after a project like this on my own. I spent about a week writing a letter to her estate detailing my dream for the collection; then I f lew out to Los Angeles and convinced them! “To me Anaïs is the precursor to women like Gloria Steinem and Lena Dunham. She talked about the struggles women have with sex and expression

Your female POV is powerful. “I’m constantly on the hunt for projects with women-driven story lines, and I think it’s really important to put on a female lens. When I go to interview Christine Lagarde, immediately there’s a familiarity. She knows that I know that she knows that I probably have experienced misogyny, for example; I know that she probably has. And you can just skip all that and dig deeper. Maybe I’m just me projecting, but I do think there’s a connection that creates a level of trust.” Put your words into action. “The conversations happening around women in film—and the gender gap overall—are sorely overdue, but we also need to do the work. We have to boost one another. Hiring women is where I begin. It’s like a muscle we all have to start building. We can all do something. The main thing is to participate: If you’re passive, you’re complicit. So empower women, write smart stories, and get active politically. Whatever you do, get involved.”

Why I Voted For… How do you become a Woman of the Year? Our advisory board of 300-plus past honorees help us choose. See who they nominated this year.

…Emily Doe “We may not know her name or her face, but we will never forget the young woman who was sexually assaulted at Stanford. Her harrowing, heartbreaking account exposed the unvarnished truth about the pain, trauma, and lasting repercussions of sexual violence. No one could read her searingly detailed letter and not be moved and outraged. Her words were beyond brave…and she is brave beyond words.” —1992 and 2006 Woman of the Year Katie Couric, journalist, author, and cancer advocate

…Gwen Stefani “I grew up mesmerized by Gwen and No Doubt. She was a visionary 20 years ago, and she continues to be one today by motivating and inspiring young women, not just with her voice but with her life choices as well.” —2013 Woman of the Year Kaitlin Roig-DeBellis, below, a teacher who saved her 15 first-graders during the Sandy Hook shooting and went on to found the nonprofit Classes 4 Classes

Bono

Alicia Garza

Musician and activist “Bono told me that as a boy, he was a closet chess player. I’m sure his ability to see three moves ahead and anticipate the needs of people around him goes back to his mastery of the game. When you’re with him, his warmth puts everyone at ease. And his understanding of complex issues is profound. Yet he still constantly seeks to learn—and that’s a great lesson, because you only grow by being a student.”

Black Lives Matter cofounder “Alicia taught me you don’t need to prepare when you know your message. Just speak the truth. I also loved the way she described herself as a girl. She used the word Prince, referring to the singer. To her it means: Be different, be proud, tell the world, ‘You can’t put me in a box.’ And she totally lives that. Her quiet, proud, confident demeanor can raise you to your feet—she is that powerful.”

…Simone Biles “She’s a standout, not just for the medals she earned but for the message she projected. She maintained the mental acuity and discipline that winning gymnastics championships requires and in so doing put a dagger in the heart of a persistent and pervasive racism.” —1992 Woman of the Year and former senator Carol Moseley Braun (D–Ill.), the first female African American U.S. senator glamour.com 69

Inside Women of theYear THIS YEAR’S WINNERS TELL:

2016 Will Go Down

as the Year That Women…

You Can Change a Girl’s Life The next generation needs you! Here’s how to pay it forward through Glamour’s The Girl Project.

his morning, as school doors opened around the world, 63 million girls stayed home. For some it was because their families don’t believe it’s important to educate a daughter; others have been married off—or would risk being raped if they were to make the dangerous walk to school. So many reasons, none of which apply to their brothers. In fact, twice as many girls as boys will never even start school. Sobering, saddening statistics. But you, by joining with Glamour’s global initiative, The Girl Project, are changing those numbers. Along with the work of our partners (CARE, Girls Inc., Communities in Schools, Plan International USA, She’s the First, and the Lower Eastside Girls Club), you’ve already helped girls ages 12 to 17 stay in school— girls like Kylee in Ottawa, Kansas, who was bullied so viciously she almost quit, and Keerthi in Bangalore, India, who would be breaking rock in a quarry like her mother were it not for a scholarship. “I want to build many more schools,” says Keerthi, who plans to become a software engineer, “so that [other] children will get an education like I did.” We want to help more girls like Kylee and Keerthi graduate in 2017; our projects will include mentoring programs, back-to-school courses for dropouts, and full scholarships (with room, board, tuition, books, and tutors) for female students all over the world. Here are a few ways you can pitch in:

Donate and watch your gift multiply. If we reach our fund-raising goal of $250,000 by November 14, the Caterpillar Foundation will donate three times that amount, to get us to $1 million, which could cover 714 more scholarships for girls abroad or mentor 2,000 more U.S. girls. You can:

• Text GRADS to 20222 to give $5.* • Donate any amount at thegirlproject.com. • On crowdrise.com, go to #WhenGirlsGraduate and organize a fund-raising run or party. 70 glamour.com

Give your time. Volunteer at a local girls’ club. (Find a program at communitiesinschools .org and girlsinc.org.) Or just hang out with a teen and listen. Kylee from Kansas says it was the counselor from Communities in Schools who changed her mind about dropping out. “She was just there for me,” she says. “Sometimes you just need that person there who’s going to push you a little harder.” That person can be any of us. That person can be you. * Message and data rates will apply.

—Bono

“…made the world a better, more peaceful place.” —Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund

“…started looking in the mirror and saying, with confidence and certainty, ‘I love and embrace my body.’ ” —Ashley Graham, model

“…led against all odds.” —Alicia Garza, Black Lives Matter

“…didn’t wear pants. Anyone noticed that lately? OK, that’s a joke. But one thing I’ve asked is, How can we give back?” —Gwen Stefani

“…dominated the Games. We’re powerful!” —Simone Biles, Olympic gymnast

Katie Ledecky helped rule the Olympics with her four golds.

I dig the occasional superhero, but right now I’m way more into this movie season’s underdogs: male characters whose struggles actually reflect our world. First up, Casey Affleck, 41, left, who stars in Manchester by the Sea, about a man so stuck in the past that only becoming guardian of his dead brother’s son can jolt him back to life. It’s classic Affleck Boston—Southie accents, bar fights, frigid temps—but the good will dried up ages ago. Then there’s Alden Ehrenreich, 27, above center, a sexy driver in Warren Beatty’s romance Rules Don’t Apply. Wedged between aviator Howard Hughes (Beatty) and an ingenue (Lily Collins), the guy is woefully, relatably out of his league. And remember Dev Patel, 26, above right, from Slumdog Millionaire? Jai ho—our boy’s all grown up. In Lion he’s reconciling life in Australia (Nicole Kidman is Mom) with having been separated as a child from his biological family outside Calcutta. The performance has so much heart you’ll walk away thinking, That’s a movie star. Hopefully Oscars ’17 feels me. —Kate Branch, senior entertainment editor

Interview A decade after Lauren Graham, near right, and Alexis Bledel said bon voyage to Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, the OG mom-daughter duo they played for seven seasons, Netflix debuts its four-part Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Obviously we needed intel. Glamour: Why is now the right time to revive Gilmore Girls?

Lauren Graham: All these years of being asked about a movie, it just never fit. [Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino] had more to say, so she thought of that Sherlock model of 90-minute chapters. Glamour: OK, so what’s the key to these

characters’ magic? Alexis Bledel: Rory and Lorelai’s relationship is compelling because they’re so different, but there’s also enough overlap that they can be friends. They’re distinctly drawn characters, so you care about them both as individuals and what they mean to each other. Glamour: What was your first impression of each other back then? AB: Lauren was a real professional actress, and this was my first job. I remember being a little bit… LG: Overwhelmed? AB: Dazzled. LG: I like dazzled! —Jessica Radloff, entertainment correspondent

“It comes out of the tube reddish pink, but there’s no noticeable pigment once it’s on. There wasn’t a clear reaction from the guys I work with, but it’s like getting a good haircut: If no one mentions it, it probably looks good.” Paul, 31, a consultant in Chicago, tried No. 5,

a sheer magenta: “The packaging struck me as a little makeup-y, but not offensively so. There’s just a hint of color, like I had wiped wine off my lips. I didn’t mind it, but I also don’t think it’s a huge improvement over the Vaseline I usually use.” Greg, 28, a video pro-

ducer in Brooklyn, tried No. 6, a dusty aubergine: “I found myself reapplying more often than my usual balm, but it blended nicely with my lip color. I doubt I’ll work it into my routine, but I can confidently say— with no threat to my manhood—that I enjoyed this lip gloss.” —J.H.

Some Like It

Aught

Ask any member of the fashion police, and she’ll say the years 2000 to 2010 didn’t amount to much. Hell, publications from BuzzFeed to Good Housekeeping have lamented the decade’s candy-colored tracksuits, trucker-inspired fashion, and brand-emblazoned everything. But I say those years marked a seismic shift in personal style: Thanks to the emergence of tabloid-esque blogs (perezhilton.com launched in ’04), we were finally able to take fashion cues from celebs in real time. Gone was the traditional trickle-down effect led by designers and, yes, magazines; what emerged instead was a more democratic approach to fashion. No wonder, then, that today’s icons resemble the Its of the aughts, with their look-at-me logos, tonal athletic wear, and high-polish patent. To get to the bottom of the era’s unlikely renaissance, we called in Mischa Barton, star of the new movie Father and doyenne of ’00s fashion. G L A M O U R : The O.C., which you were the lead in, aired from ’03 to ’07. Did you identify with the fashion of that time? M I S C H A BA R TO N : I never really got sucked into the Juicy phase, but I cer t a in ly ha d some pretty hideous things. That said, I was also a tomboy.

Britney Spears were wearing—were a lot girlier than what I was doing. GLAMOUR: The Juicy-style sweatsuit is certainly back.… MB: Yes! And it’s cultural, you know? You’re going to the gym; you’re running around all day. I actually think fashion has gotten a lot better in the last year or so. It’s not all about Chanel, Dior, and Louis Vuitton—you can mix and match. G L A M O U R : Please explain the logo obsession of yore. M B: It was the beginning of the branding era, wasn’t it? Commercialism at the time had reached new heights. Then it became uncool to wear anything with a name on it. And now I think it’s kind of leveled out a little bit. GLAMOUR: How do you shop now? MB: I have my favorite stores: The Corner in Berlin is kind of what Colette in Paris used to be. And I still vintage-shop. I’ve never been very good at shopping online—I just don’t trust it. My whole sensibility toward fashion has changed; now it’s a lot more streamlined. The real test is, Is it truly flattering? Is it well-made? Will I wear it five years from now? G L AM O U R : What part, if any, of the ’00s still speaks to you? M B : It’s tough. There was a lot of bad. Everything kind of just got overplayed; that’s the problem. But it’s coming back around. I see all the young street-style It girls—they’re doing the retro throwback thing. I do think there’s something really interesting about making casual clothing chic again. I mean, if I could have 50 pairs of these snakeskin trainers I love, I would. —J.H.

Mariah Carey: Always go to Aspen. Christmas is my favorite holiday. It’s everything to me. Glamour: What parts of the collection are really you? MC: We didn’t do a mascara; we did a lash. I don’t wear mascara, because when I sing, it drips all over my face. Glamour: What are your thoughts on glittery makeup? Does it work all year-round?

MC: I like to call it shimmer. Tans, gold, soft white, pink bronze—really pretty colors like that look good on everybody. Glamour: When do you feel the most beautiful? MC: When I’m in good lighting.

It was majestic and springy and beautiful. It went up to my navel. LP: Wow. So basically you’re saying you think that bush is back? AF: In a big way.

LP: Wouldn’t it be amazing if having a big bush was like having great boobs or an hourglass figure? AF: Yes. Like, “Damn, that chick has the lushest bush I have ever seen.” LP: This should be a podcast. AF: Can I be drunk?

That Bluetooth Goes

Where?!

Every innovation in the health world right now seems to center on a Bluetooth app. Some of these products are kind of awesome, like the Philips Sonicare smart toothbrush that can tell you where to focus your brushing. Or the no-touch Thermo thermometer from Withings (a forehead scan reads the temp—genius for a sleeping baby). But there are also some health products that probably, um, didn’t need to be digitized. Consider the data-reading tampon! My.Flow has developed the one pictured above; it features a superlong string—braided with an implant-grade surgical-steel wire—that attaches to a belt clip where the Bluetooth chip lives. Then, via an app, you get discreet notifications when your tampon is at max capacity, to prevent one of those feminine-care horror stories. But a string from down there all the way to your belt?! (Never mind if you’re wearing a dress.) Even in our tracker-obsessed culture, I’m pretty sure I’d prefer that my tampons stay dumb. —Sara Gaynes Levy, health editor

How to Primp Your

Pooch

When 37-year-old comedian Jess Rona needed extra cash, she turned to a side hustle: dog grooming. But only when she filmed one of her freshly clipped customers did her knack for turning dogs into giant Instagram stars unveil itself. (Now Katy Perry’s poodle Nugget is a client.) Here, her photography tricks. Get Instaspecific: “You gotta go low, man. Then you can see the profile of the strands of fur flying in the air,” Rona says—as with Tashi, right. And that breeze? “It’s just my blow-dryer, not some huge Beyoncé wind machine.” Choose your tunes: “I look at the footage and see what a dog does naturally,” Rona says. “If there’s a look or a movement that gives me some kind of emotion, I’ll think to myself, Oh, I need some angsty music.” (She layers in tracks with the InstaVideo app.) Use Psych 101: “I let the dogs know that I understand them,” Rona says. “If you feel like someone’s on your side, you’re disarmed.” —Justine Harman, senior editor

This blazer is so ver satile I can pair it with a plaid shirt and a très French miniskirt!

This Month’s Essentials Violette styles a velvet jacket, menswear-inspired trousers, and suede over-the-knee boots. ASOS blazer ($97, asos.com). Boss pants ($285, hugoboss.com). Loeffler Randall boots ($750, loefflerrandall.com).

I like the burgundy against my denim work shirt—the color pops in a very cool way.

With a standout piece like these mermaid pants, this jacket is almost understated.

My style checklist revolves around contrasts—I love the suede texture of the boots against the sheen of these pants.

These boots hit the perfect spot just above the knee. With jeans and a soft sweater, the look is very Jane Birkin.

My Annie Hall look—these trousers work best with a heel or a borrowedfrom-theboys brogue.

With a miniskirt, the boots make my legs seem superlong, without showing too much skin.

Working on hectic photo shoots, I need to feel comfortable. These pants aren’t cut too tight or too loose so I can move.

My style is masculine meets feminine but never girly. The pants with heels are perfect!

Rolex? Cartier? Those and more are within reach at Eleven James. The price—$149 a month—is steep but worth considering if you want to testdrive a luxury watch before you invest; a stylist will suggest the best option for you. “The Rolex they recommended felt like it was made for me,” says Julie Nguyen of New York City. Starts at $149 per month; elevenjames.com.

Got a designer craving? Armarium offers fourday rentals on styles from names including Peter Pilotto, above, and Jimmy Choo. There’s no subscription fee; prices vary by piece, but they’re far below retail. “The first dress I rented, an Elie Saab gown, was a hit at a gala I hosted,” says Sarah Arison of New York City. “I keep going back for more showstoppers.” Browse and rent through armarium .com or its app.

NEWS

A head-turning slicker? Yes, possible—thanks to French blogger Garance Doré and her new collab with Stutterheim (the brand famous for its rubber jackets). We’re into the unusual pink and transparent version here: “To me, pink acts as a neutral,” says Doré, “and the clear fabric makes what you’re wearing underneath part of your outfit. I’d wear it with a white shirt and denim or khakis.” —Lauren Chan, @lcchan

When I need an essential that feels luxe and special, I reach for Nili Lotan. Her slipdresses, button-downs, and cashmere sweaters are fail-proof (Kendall Jenner, below in a green Nili slip, agrees!). I’ve always wished she made denim too. Now—wish granted—she has. I can’t wait to wear the cropped, frayed jeans. —Shilpa Prabhakar Nadella, @shilpapnadella Nili Lotan sweater ($995) and jeans ($375, nililotan.com)

“It’s OK to be whatever size you are” Khloé Kardashian and partner Emma Grede on the body-positive philosophy behind their new line of jeans. By Lauren Chan because they were trendy,” Kardashian says. So, as they created their first collection, they wanted to guarantee one thing: All their jeans would come in sizes 0 to 24 (a big deal, since most brands go up to 12 only). “They also fit over our own butts!” Grede says. Bottom line: “The Good American woman does not apologize for herself,” says Grede. Or as Kardashian puts it, “It’s OK to be whatever size you are, and our jeans are going to fit you.” Finally. Let’s hear more! GLAMOUR: Why launch Good American now?

f ter years of being body-shamed in the tabloids, Khloé Karda shia n is get t ing back at her haters. No, not with a Twitter rant—with a body-positive denim label. “I was fat-shamed so much,” she says. “I love that people are into real women now, and I want to keep breaking barriers in the body revolution with this brand.” Though the line, called Good American, will evolve into a range of ready-to-wear, it’s launching with the thing Kardashian struggled with most: denim. “Emma and I”—that would be Emma Grede, a former fashion marketer and now Kardashian’s business partner, thanks to a setup by Kris Jenner—“were just done forcing ourselves to squeeze into jeans 116 glamour.com

but one thing I could never wear in my size was denim. I wanted the jeans that all my sisters wore, but boutiques didn’t go up to size 10, so trying their jeans on made me feel like shit. I was always embarrassed about that, which is so messed up. I love that I am doing something about it now. GLAMOUR: What were your other frustrations with jeans, and how have you worked to fix them? KK: Kim [Kardashian West] and I buy denim and have to tailor the waistband because we have bigger butts and smaller waists. Emma said the same thing, even though we have different body shapes, so we fixed gaping with a waistband that cinches in right above the butt. EMMA GREDE: We also spent a long time working on the size range, because you can’t just take a denim pattern and scale it up to make it work for a fuller figure. GLAMOUR: Why do you think most designers don’t do those things? KK: I think that some brands don’t want a larger, curvy woman wearing their brand. E G : And because of the outdated sample system. The sample-size norm is a 2, which means models have to be that size to wear the clothes, and celebrities have to be that size if they want to borrow a dress for an awards show. Changing that is about investment, time, resources, and development. We are going to have samples in a full range of sizes so the pieces can be shot on a size 18 or 0. GLAMOUR: Which sister’s feedback are you most looking forward to? KK: Kylie [Jenner] loved it and said she was proud; she likes the message because she knows my past body struggles. But I think Kim is the most honest. Her feedback will be great because she and I wear and love the same denim brands—Frame, Topshop, and Citizens [of Humanity]—and we have the same wants and needs from denim. EG: We could not have a better tester.

Feeling this holiday look? Natasha Poly did it herself, and she’s going to show you how. By Simone Kitchens

Valentino dress. Céline earrings. See Glamour Shopper for more information.

Russian-born supermodel Natasha Poly has always loved makeup. “I’ve been playing with it since I was a little kid,” she says. “I would go through my mom’s stuff and put on her pink lipstick and blue eyeshadow. It was the eighties!” By age 15, Poly had started modeling professionally and suddenly found herself face-to-face backstage with the world’s top makeup artists, from Pat McGrath to Charlotte Tilbury—new mentors to steal tricks from. All of which explains why Poly has become a beauty pro in her own right: She got so good that McGrath often let the model help with her own makeup backstage. Now not only is she doing the faces of friends like Irina Shayk and Rosie Huntington-Whitely (and her own for this shoot), she is working on a series of online makeup tutorials. Her best advice? Complement the features you have: “You know, you have to learn your face.” Meaning, play with makeup, people! Photographs by Olivia Malone

great in photos.

Natasha Does Allover Gold What you’ll need: For the look on the previous page, Poly used a gold powder eyeshadow (like the L’Oréal Paris one below), gold cream highlighter, liquid concealer, and lip balm. The how-to: Poly first addresses any skin imperfections. “A liquidy concealer is great for covering any breakouts. I mix that same cover-up formula with a golden highlighter, then pat in the inner corners of the eyes to open them up,” she says. Now for the glow part: Poly likes a warm gold eyeshadow. Go for a formula that’s lightweight and powdery, her preferred texture. “Using my ring finger, I first cover my lids up to the crease,” she says, noting that she likes to add extra layers of gold shadow for pop. (If you can bear skipping mascara, as Poly did, do so; it’ll keep the effect not too formal.) “Next, I tap the shimmer on the top of cheekbones and the tip of my nose, followed by a touch on the chin, at the Cupid’s bow, and below the brow bone.” Finish with clear balm. “It’s about balancing things,” Poly says. “If you do too much of an eye and too much of a lip, it becomes vampirelike.” AN EYE-BRIGHTENING SET Givenchy Palette Ors Audacieaux ($63, barneys.com)

A METALLIC LINER

Natasha Does a Bronzy Wing What you’ll need: Bronze or copper metallic liquid liner (like the Urban Decay one at right), Q-tips, gold cream highlighter, liquid concealer, and lip balm or nude lipstick. The how-to: Repeat the skin prep from the allover gold look, then focus on the eyes. “I don’t have big eyes, so this shape plays them up,” Poly says about the style above. She ups the holiday factor with a metallic shade, but black would work too. As for getting the shape: “I start at the outer corners,” she says. She places one dot outside each eye between the outer corner and the end of the brow, then pulls the liner up and out from the lashes to the dot. Next, she draws along the lash line and adds a touch at the inner corners. Clean up any mistakes easily with a Q-tip. “This wing is nice in shimmery tones,” she says. “Plus, bronze and copper look great in photos!”

bed, then sleeping with wet hair. When you wake up, it has that bumpy look to it. I love that. My beauty regret: I have tons—tons. One time I used one of those vanity mirrors, the close-up magnifying kind, and plucked literally all of my eyebrows off. Khloé yelled at me: “You can’t touch your eyebrows until they fully grow out!” It was so not cute; I was mortified. Once my brows started to grow out, she took me to my first eyebrow lady. Now I just fill them in with an Estée Lauder pencil. My everyday fragrance: Anyone who knows me knows I love the fresh scent of vanilla. That’s always my thing. I’m really into Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss [left]. I’m not the traditional put-it-on-your-wrists-andrub-it-together girl. I wear it all over. My favorite nineties beauty reference: I love Cindy Crawford’s Pepsi commercial. My getting-ready music: Frank Ocean, obviously. And I’m still kind of stuck on HER TOUCH OF VANILLA Drake’s album. My last-minute “I like to spray it literally all over—my chest, my hair.” touch-up move: This is going to sound unsafe, but I do my makeup at Estée Lauder Modern red lights. My glow hack: A spray Muse Le Rouge Gloss Eau de Parfum tan. Oh my God, it makes me look so ($85, esteelauder.com) much better. My favorite grooming look on a guy: I dig grungy.

My sibling beauty advice: My [older] sisters went to makeup school when they were teenagers. Their dad sent them so that when they started to do their own makeup, they wouldn’t look like crazy teenage girls who didn’t know what they were doing. So my sisHER STATEMENT LIP ters always had good tips. Growing up, Estée Lauder Pure Kim spent the most time in the bathroom. Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick in Carnal And Kylie still begs to do my makeup. But ($32, esteelauder.com) I don’t know if her style of makeup is my thing. [Laughs.] I don’t wear her lip kits as much as I wear my Estée Lauder color. My aha moment: I first started getting my hair and makeup done for the red carpet maybe six years ago. I was really into black eyeshadow. But one makeup artist was like, “No, no, no. Less is more. You’re young; you should definitely be more natural.” And since then, it stuck with me—I love doing less. My keep-it-simple skin care approach: I wash my face with a gentle cleanser in the morning and before I go to bed. I don’t like to do too much to my skin. I feel like the more I do, the more confused it gets; I have sensitive skin. I put on EltaMD SPF46 sunscreen [$32, eltamd.com/buy] every day. My nonnegotiable bedtime beauty rule: I can’t go to bed not fully clean. I would never even let my friends get into my bed with their HER HAIR HYDRATOR makeup on. I’m so OCD about it.

Mask Mania!

@manasavedula You can thank Korea for the mask explosion we’re experiencing. “Korean women are extremely demanding when it comes to their skin, and they want to treat it the most effective way possible,” says Sarah Lee, cofounder of the K-beauty ecommerce site Glow Recipe. “Masks offer visible results right away.” Oh, and they’re kind of fun to do too. Here’s what to use and when.

For a nighttime treatment… Go for the new, souped-up sheet masks. You want hydrogels, which are soaked in serum and have a “jelly texture that soothes and cools skin,” Lee says (try Whamisa Organic Flowers Hydrogel Sheet Mask, $9, glow recipe.com). They can also help refine pores and will feel a bit like a spa treatment (no appointment needed). If you ordinarily use a serum at night, try skipping it once a week and replacing it with one of these. And don’t rinse afterward— the residual ingredients continue to be absorbed while you sleep. 132 glamour.com

A RUBBER MASK

For a quick preparty glow… Try rubber (or modeling) masks. They’re like a baking kit: You mix a powder with water or gel in a cup, apply, then peel off the rubbery result in one awesomely satisfying piece. The results aren’t always long-lasting but can be dramatic—think plump, babysoft, well-rested skin. “Rubber masks are the go-to step during any facial in Korea for calming skin,” says Christine Chang, Lee’s cofounder. “They create an evaporation-free barrier, so ingredients go right in.” They also leave skin clean— ideal for applying makeup.

For a Snapchat-worthy beauty experiment… Do a magnet mask. These newbies on the scene are laced with minerals like iron and are removed with a magnetic tool, leaving behind only a nourishing film and active ingredients such as retinoids and peptides (try Dr. Brandt Magnetight Mask, $75, sephora.com). The whole process purifies skin, and its sci-fi vibe (um, it comes off in crystals!) was the craziest thing I’ve ever witnessed in my mirror on a Tuesday night. —Glamour beauty writer Katheryn Erickson

Beauty / Love Your Hair Bend It Like Keira For Knightley’s waves, “I used a curling iron on random sections just for a few seconds and added Oribe dry texturizer,” McKnight explains. “That’s it!”

The Sexiest Waves Ever n his 40 years as a fashion-world hairstylist, Sam McK night has lived through a lot of trends: hippie hair in the seventies (when he learned to rough-dry waves), big supermodel coifs in the eighties (when he perfected the art of teasing), grunge bedhead in the nineties (when he first helped craft Kate Moss’s signature look). These days, when he’s not backstage at, say, Chanel, he’s giving his effortlessly sexy tousle to A-listers on editorial shoots—like Keira Knightley, above, in 2014 for Glamour. So what can you learn from him? We sat down with McKnight, author of the new book Hair by Sam McKnight, to find out. In Hair you talk about styling with your hands, an early hairdressing lesson from the Molton Brown salon. Is that trick still relevant today? Yes, it’s about learning the texture of your hair. How does it react? If you learn to play with your hair using your hands, you’ll probably find tools easier to use. Then you started working for magazines, including Glamour and Vogue, in the 134 glamour.com

eighties and nineties. Tell us about the supermodels! They all knew how to work their hair. Cindy [Crawford] used her big hair. Naomi [Campbell] first claimed the extension world with all her different looks. Tatjana [Patitz] had Hollywood glamour down. Who’s doing that now? I love Gigi [Hadid]; she’s got amazing hair—thick and shiny. And Gisele [Bündchen] has the best hair in the business. Kate Moss’s mussed-up st yle is prett y iconic. What’s the secret? The fewer [hot tools] you use, the better. I rough-dry with a towel, then spray a little dry texturizer and dry shampoo to give it volume on top. I f latten the middle with my hand and part the front while blow-drying. That makes the front f lat and fall into the eye a bit—a little sexier. But you do haul a suitcase of products and tools to shoots. What can’t you live without? Dry shampoo, tex tur izer, shampoo, the Shaper hairspray by Sebastian, and Kiehl’s Creme with Silk Groom. These things

get me through every situation. Part of the book is devoted to your work with Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel—lots of bows, pearls, and feathers. How do you make such prissy accessories modern? Keep the hair simple. Make it look like you just shoved one piece in your hair instead of fixing it on like a tiara. Unless you’re a princess! What was it like working with Princess Diana? I would never have been in the position to work with her if I had not been a hairdresser. She had charisma, thoughtfulness, humor. I traveled the world with her, i n b e t we en fashion stuff. It was seven of the most special years of my life.

Hair The secret: nothing but braids. Here’s your step-by-step guide to rocking the season’s prettiest styles from now until New Year’s. By Maureen Choi

Keough’s Undone

Braid STEP 1

Give hair some grip. Mist towel-dried hair from root to tip with a wave spray like Ouai Wave Spray ($26, theouai.com) for “tons of texture,” says hairstylist Jen Atkin, who created Keough’s look for the American Honey premiere in Cannes. (If your hair is fine or on the shorter side, apply a volumizing mousse first.) Then blow-dry while brushing hair in every direction—front, back, side to side—with a paddle brush to build volume.

Now do a reverse French braid. Once hair is dry, grab a two-inch section at the crown of your head and split it into three pieces. Start a reverse braid, crossing each piece under the other. After three crosses, start adding to the side sections as you continue to cross the side sections under the middle section. This creates the inside-out effect. Continue to the ends (or, if your hair is chin length or shorter, braid just to ear level) and secure with a clear elastic.

STEP 3

Add even more texture. Gently loosen the braid with your fingers and pull out a handful of face-framing wisps to “give it a modern finish,” says Atkin. Slide a few bobby pins into the top and middle section of the braid to keep the whole thing in place, and hit it with a touch of hairspray (try Tresemmé TRES Two Ultra Fine Mist Hair Spray, $4, at drugstores) to hold.

Side Fishtail STEP 2

STEP 3

Prep your locs or box braids.

Create multiple braids.

Bring out wisps.

This look works with locs or box braids that are at least shoulder length. Before you start, “mix a moisturizing styling cream with a few drops of hair oil, like Kérastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil [$58, kerastase-usa .com], and smooth all over,” says Nai’vasha Johnson, the hairstylist behind the look that Lane, also a star of American Honey, wore at the Toronto International Film Festival. “It makes braiding a lot easier, and the end result will be more polished.”

Look closely and you’ll see that Lane’s style is actually made up of four braids. Starting just above your left ear, fishtail-braid a small section (weave single locs over one another toward the center; go to lipstick.com/ hair for an illustrated tutorial) along your hairline and secure with an elastic over your right shoulder. Add a second fishtail braid an inch behind the first, and then a third. Secure all three in place with bobby pins. Now make a fourth braid with the rest of your hair across the back and use a bungee cord to tie everything into a low side ponytail.

This will make the style romantic, soft, and sexy. First, add definition by using a comb to twirl baby hairs into coils along the hairline and the nape of the neck. Then use your fingers to dab a bit of gel on hair and fluff up random sections all over with a toothbrush. Finally, wrap a strand of Swarovski crystals around the base of the braid (over the bungee) and spritz lightly with styling oil (like Oribe Côte d’Azur Luminous Hair & Body Oil, $72, oribe.com).

Annoying

Winter

Skin Issues, Solved

We’ll show you how to get things glowy and back on track—fast. By Cristina Mueller

Breakouts

The cause: “Acne at its most basic level is hormonal,” says New

York City dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, M.D. And it can be trickier to treat in the winter since many typical acne fighters like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are, by nature, very drying, says dermatologist Jennifer Lee, M.D., of Franklin, Tennessee. The solution: We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Moisture! Breakout-prone skin needs it too—because overdry skin can get even more inflamed. In winter swap your usual formulas for lower-strength versions, around 2 percent. And don’t skip that crucial step of applying a hydrating face cream or oil (yes, certain oils do work for oily types by balancing skin, says Dr. Lee; try Sunday Riley U.F.O. Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil, $80, sephora .com, left). Also, Dr. Zeichner is excited about Neutrogena’s at-home Light Therapy Acne Mask ($39, at drugstores); the full-face device— think hockey mask—uses red and blue LED lights to reduce inflammation and painlessly obliterate acne bacteria. Just remove m a keup and don the mask for 10 minutes—no drying, no irritation, done.

Lips

The cause: Harsh weather alone may be

responsible, but other offenders include too-frequent applications of the balm that’s supposed to cure you. “I see people who are like, ‘I don’t understand, I’m using my lip balm 10 times a day!’ ” says Dr. Lee. “But when you’re exposed that often to any formula, you can sometimes develop an irritant dermatitis to the chemicals in it.” The solution: Extra-gentle exfoliation with a sugar scrub or a soft washcloth can slough away dead skin; then follow with a nice, thick balm application before bed (Dr. Zeichner recommends super-mild CeraVe healing ointment, $4, at drugstores). If you suspect you fall into the balm-abuser category, Dr. Lee recommends a salve with nonirritating lanolin or plain petrolatum, nixing any fragrances or flavors (try John Masters Organics Lip Calm, $6, john masters.com, above) and cutting back on how often you apply it throughout the day; severe cases might need a derm-prescribed topical steroid before lips can fully heal. And hard as it may be, resist the urge to lick your lips, says Dr. Zeichner: “Saliva has an acidic pH, which can cause more irritation than hydration.”

Cold-Weather

Cracked

Beauty / Insight

Dullness

The cause: Dry heat blasting 24/7 is a primary culprit, but so are the long, hot showers you’re taking.

The solution: The first impulse is to scrub all the roughness away—“but pay attention,”

warns Dr. Zeichner. “If you’re doing a lot of exfoliation and your skin is really parched and patchy, that’s a sign you may be disrupting the skin’s protective moisture barrier.” Instead of exfoliating, try hydrating: First, he says, swap out regular face washes for creamy and nonfoaming cleansers or a micellar water. Then look for moisturizing creams and serums with colloidal oatmeal, sweet almond oil, or ceramides. Keep showers short and lukewarm—and apply your hydrator (we like This Works No Wrinkles Extreme Moisturizer, $84, thisworks .com, above) within five minutes of exiting the shower, while the bathroom is still steamy. Once you’ve integrated these steps into your routine, then and only then can you proceed to any sort of exfoliation. Even so, go for a mild chemical exfoliant like a face or body lotion with lactic acid, says Dr. Lee. You don’t need a gritty scrub to get skin soft. (The same strategy works for your body too.)

Puffiness

The cause: Fluid retention (a.k.a., what happens when

you’ve overloaded on salty chips, sushi, canapés, and your aunt’s awesome cheese straws). Lack of sleep and drinking too much can also bring it on. The solution: Your quickest fix to undereye bags is the old tea bag trick. Lightly dampen two green tea bags with cool water and place them under your eyes for 10 minutes. “Caffeine constricts blood vessels,” explains Dr. Zeichner. “Plus you get the added antioxidants from the green tea.” Similarly, a caffeine-based serum (like Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer, $28, origins.com) will tighten and firm all over if your whole face feels puffy. And start chugging water like a marathoner, says Dr. Lee. “Staying well-hydrated with plain water means you’ll pee out all the excess salt and bring down puffiness,” she explains. At night, massage on an eye cream with a mild retinol (like Kate Somerville +Retinol Firming Eye Cream, $85, katesomerville.com, right), says Dr. Zeichner. “It tightens everything like Spanx.” And if you still find that puffiness is a chronic every-morning issue, elevate your head with an extra pillow at night, says Dr Lee; fluids won’t build up as much.

146 glamour.com

Flaky Skin

Redness or Broken

Capillaries

The cause: Broken capillaries are the sad souvenir of summertime skin damage from UV rays. “Once the tan fades, they’re what’s left over,” says Dr. Zeichner. And allover redness can happen when you experience extreme sudden temperature changes (common in winter when it’s 20 degrees outside and 75 degrees inside), or when you drink hot beverages or alcohol. The solution: First, the bad news: “Once a capillary is broken, it’s broken, and there’s no home remedy to fix it—you need a laser in a dermatologist’s office,” says Dr. Lee. (The laser is quick and costs about $200 for both cheeks, and it can get rid of those spidery red lines in one treatment. Though concealer works fine too!) If generalized redness is your issue, there are a lot of options. Look for formulas that include niacinamide (like Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Cream, $48, sephora .com, above) or licorice (try First Aid Beauty Anti-Redness Serum, $36, sephora.com), as well as chamomile or feverfew—these all calm redness over time.

THIS WORKS: JOSEPHINE SCHIELE. OTHER STILLS: TIM HOUT; STYLIST: JOHN OLSON FOR HALLEY RESOURCES

The cause: “When the air is drier, skin can be drier. And you get that illusion of dullness when you have old, dead skin cells on the top layer of your skin,” says Dr. Lee. They’re a sign you’re not exfoliating well enough and that you might not be adequately hydrated. The solution: Exfoliation is your best friend; an oscillating face brush in the shower or a twice-weekly chemical peel like Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel ($88, sephora.com) can loosen that buildup, says Dr. Zeichner. Other important tools in your nighttime glow-boosting kit include serums with vitamin C, an antioxidant that can fade discoloration, or retinol, which spurs cell turnover. Don’t forget to moisturize afterward, says Dr. Lee (otherwise you might be looking at issue number four, flaky skin). Face masks (like L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Mask Exfoliate & Refine, $13, at drugstores, above) often do double duty, says Dr. Zeichner, brightening and deeply hydrating simultaneously.

You’re drinking…

You tell yourself…

So: Are you right?

Martini

Most types of alcohol—gin and vodka included— have been linked to improved cardiovascular health.

“This one we can justify!” says dietitian Tanya Zuckerbrot, R.D. “A straight-up martini has no added sugar. In moderation, you won’t undo any of the heart benefits.”

Pomegranate champagne cocktail

Champagne is a lower-calorie pick (around 96 per glass versus 128 for white wine). And pomegranate juice is antioxidant city.

“The champagne plus the juice has a lot of sugar, which is a big negative,” says Zuckerbrot. Instead of the juice, pop some real pomegranate seeds and get a little fiber.

The apple cider is a great way to enjoy the harvest of the season. It’s practically a serving of fruit!

Sorry, no dice. It may sound healthy, but you’re getting no fiber from these apples. Strike two: The dark booze you’ll use (bourbon or rum) has more hangoverinducing impurities than the clear kinds.

One word: resveratrol, which is linked to better heart health and lower cancer rates and may slow the aging process.

Yes, the resveratrol and antioxidants make this the healthiest drink on the page. But note: There’s not as much resveratrol in one glass as you think—this is still booze, so take it easy.

Studies say brews can help with exercise recovery. So… it’s pretty much a sports drink, right?

Sorta. “Some research says the electrolytes and carbs in beer could help recovery after exercising,” says Zuckerbrot. “But a virgin beverage like coconut water is a much better postworkout pick.”

My Dirty Little Secret: I’m Happy You can’t admit your life is awesome without getting plenty of side eye. Why do we doubt our own joy? By Abigail Libers

156 glamour.com

exciting—dammit, I was satisfied. But the whole episode made me wonder, Why is there this happiness catch-22 in which all we want is to feel it, but the moment we do, we can’t accept it? Experts have actually studied this phenomenon and have isolated some pretty good reasons:

1) It’s human nature. Those doubts I felt? Turns out they are a pretty standard reaction to life’s feelgood moments. “Happiness makes us feel vulnerable, because we’re scared it will be taken away from us,” explains Andrea Bonior, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist and adjunct professor of psychology at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Our species is also hardwired to see the worst in things. “Evolutionarily speaking, human beings had to be vigilant and somewhat pessimistic to survive,” says psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Califor-

nia, Riverside, and author of The Myths of Happiness. “If you were too confident, too happy, or too optimistic, you might miss threats in the environment.”

2) Women especially doubt their happiness. Even though I was certain I was enjoying my life, I couldn’t help chalking it up to a lucky streak. I’m sure this won’t last, I thought. Also a totally normal reaction, experts say. “It’s uncomfortable for women to own their successes, and our society creates that discomfort,” says Bonior. “Our culture still doesn’t see women as being as competent as men, which undermines female accomplishments in general. That gets internalized.” Objectively I know that crediting my success to luck is bullshit: I’ve worked hard for my happiness, surviving countless mundane dates, merciless bosses, and challenging therapy sessions to get to this good place. But the reflexive self-doubt is hard to kick, Bonior

o how are you?!” a friend asked me at brunch recently. I hadn’t seen her in a while and thought for a moment. “Great!” I replied. “Things have been going really well for me.” Even I was surprised by my response; it’s rare that I don’t have a complaint at the ready. Apparently my friend was taken aback too. “Really?” she asked. “That’s awesome. I’m happy for you.” And there was an awkward pause. In the silence I realized I had violated an unspoken code. The answer to “How are you?” is supposed to be “I’m so busy and stressed!” And indeed, when I asked what was new with her, she stuck to the script, rattling off complaints: annoyed with her mom, drowning at work. The exchange made me realize something else. I noticed, strangely, that I felt a little guilty that things were going well for me. That night, as I thought about our conversation, doubts began to creep in: Was I really happy? Or had all my yoga, meditation, and therapy sessions just momentarily tricked me into thinking that I was happy? I reassessed: I had a new job I loved, I’d been dating someone

“When everything is going right, women tend to question it or overthink it.” acknowledges. (Notice yourself dismissing your accomplishments? She recommends listing what it took to make them happen.) Our brains are trained to expect the worst. “We know how easily things can go wrong in the world,” Bonior says. Lyubomirsky agrees: “When everything is going right, women tend to question it or overthink it and decide it’s too good to be true.” Other women told me they, too, have a hard time relishing their happiness. “Sometimes when things are going really well for me, I don’t even let myself feel happy because I don’t want to jump the gun,” says Allison Rerecich, 29, an actress in New York City. “Or I’ll downplay my excitement because I’m convinced there’s a limit on how happy I can be.”

3) Negativity brings us together. Another reason we hesitate to embrace our joy? As I saw at brunch, shared misery is a huge part of how women bond.

“Our perspectives are biased toward p e s si m i sm ,” s ay s E m m a S eppä lä , Ph.D., science director of Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education. “We are more likely to pay attention to negative situations than positive ones,” which can mean that connections forged in complaining can feel stronger than positive ones. And breaking this pattern is not always easy.

4) We compartmentalize our happiness. There actually is one place we feel we have permission to be downright giddy: social media. Your vacay shots, your meticulous brunch bowl, your cat—only on Instagram can you express joy and receive just positive feedback. “Likes” pour in, and even if you do have a few annoyed friends, you don’t have to deal with their eye rolls. And real-life conversations tend to fast-forward past the good

stuff, which your friends have already double-tapped. “If you just found out your boyfriend is cheating on you, pour a glass of wine, because we have something to talk about,” says Merritt Watts, 31, a writer in San Francisco. “But who wants to hear you drone on about your perfect trip or incredible hotel? Literally no one.”

So how can we finally own our joy? Despite all this, there are powerful reasons to let yourself feel good, especially offline. “People who acknowledge their happiness are healthier and more creative than those who don’t,” says Lyubomirsky. “They’re more likely to find a partner, they tend to have better relationships, and they’re stronger leaders and negotiators.” So quiet that voice inside that’s telling you this is all about to disappear. And also know that it’s OK to admit it when you feel happy, even if the sensation feels a little bit like bragging. There’s no shame in that; in fact, your good vibes may be contagious to others. “Research shows that people who are happy influence three degrees of separation around them,” says Seppälä. “People think that pursuing happiness is a selfish act, but they couldn’t be more wrong.” We owe it to ourselves and one another to be happy—and to allow ourselves to unabashedly bask in that joy. Abigail Libers has written for New York and Details.

A Perfect Moment

“I always feel insecure posting ‘happy couple’ photos, but I couldn’t help myself with this one; this place was so beautiful! Putting this one up just extended our postwedding high.” —Merritt Watts, 31

“When I share moments of happiness, I look past insecurities: messed-up hair, weird leg position. It’s important to get over those things and focus on how beautiful the memory is.” —Amy Schlinger, 28

“I loved jumping around for [the passerby] who took this shot on a recent bike tour. It boosts my mood to look back at pictures from fun times— even if they were recent.” —Yasmin Stitt, 30

“I wanted to remember the joy I felt in Thailand with this photo. But I remind myself, if Instagram disappeared tomorrow, I’d still experience life the same way: not ignoring my low moments but celebrating the good ones.” —Jennifer Weber, 30

Myth: We get UTIs only from sex. Yes, sexytime is the most common cause; nearly 80 percent of infections in young women occur within a day of intercourse. “The back-and-forth rhythm propels bacteria from your vulva, vagina, or rectum into your bladder,” explains Lisa Dabney, M.D., an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. But UTIs also just happen—other triggers include wiping back to front and masturbating. Having a condition that blocks your urinary tract, like kidney stones, or that affects your immune system, like diabetes, can also make you likelier to get one. If you get them frequently but not after sex, let your doctor know.

Myth: It’s fine to just call your doctor and ask for meds. Wrong move! “Even if a patient is sure she has a UTI, I still make her come in so I can get a sample,” says Dr. Dabney. Why? Many conditions mimic UTI symptoms, and even hospitals screw them up. According to a 2015 study, fewer than half of the UTIs diagnosed in ERs were identified correctly (some were STIs!), so the visit to your doc is worth the trip. “If you don’t have a UTI—or if you do but it doesn’t respond to the antibiotic you have—we can adjust,” Dr. Dabney says. 160 glamour.com

Myth: Cranberry juice prevents UTIs. Sorry, holiday beverages. “One theory was that cranberry juice altered your urine’s pH level, making it more acidic and a less hospitable environment for bacteria,” says Deepak A. Kapoor, M.D., president of Advanced Urology Centers of New York. But a large-scale review concluded that cranberry juice didn’t really reduce the occurrence of UTIs. Stick to regular old H2O. “It will flush out the bladder without any sugar or artificial ingredients,” says Dr. Kapoor.

Myth: Peeing before and after sex prevents infection. Hit the bathroom before and after sex, and you’re in the clear, right? Unfortunately, there’s never been great research that proves this habit reduces your chances of getting a UTI. Docs do recommend peeing, but only after sex, saying it can’t hurt. “But if you urinate before sex, it’s hard to urinate after, and you want a steady stream of urine to flush out bacteria,” says Dr. Kapoor.

Myth: Some sex positions increase your risk. In truth, whether you’re standing, sitting, or lying down doesn’t matter. “Those bacteria are equal opportunity offenders: They’ll find their way into your urethra any way they can,” says Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., a gynecologist at the Yale

School of Medicine. The one thing that does have an impact? “Switching from anal intercourse to vaginal is a guaranteed way to introduce bad bacteria into your urinary tract,” Dr. Minkin says. (If you’re going from anal to vaginal in the same session, have your partner wash off and use a new condom.) Too much suction during oral sex can also cause similar symptoms. “I’ve seen patients who can’t pee or who complain that it burns because their partner has sucked so hard it inf lamed their clitoris and urethra,” says Hilda Hutcherson, M.D., an ob-gyn at Columbia University Medical Center. Love the enthusiasm, but ask your partner to ease up a smidge!

Myth: UTIs are contagious. Nope. While UTIs can be triggered by sex, your partner doesn’t pass on the bacteria. “Bacteria living near the vulva and the opening to the urethra get pushed inside [the bladder] by intercourse,” explains Dr. Dabney. But it’s easy to see how this myth started: We often get UTIs when we have sex for the first time after a long break, or after hooking up with someone new. “When you change partners, sex becomes different,” Dr. Kapoor says. “The length and girth of his penis and the way you both move during intercourse can affect how much bacteria gets swept into your urinary tract. As a result, you may find that you’re more or less likely to get an infection.”

pauper, lobbied to procure him the title of king or prince consort, and eventually called him “master” in private. Of course that was the 1800s, a time when women could not vote and were considered the property of men. But this is 2016! Wives now bring home the bigger salary in 37 percent of heterosexual married couples. Forty-one percent of mothers are the sole supporters of their family. It’s so normal you’d think our reaction to it would be too. Not so, according to the Harvard research. In it, study author and sociology professor Alexandra Killewald, Ph.D., analyzed data on more than 6,300 American couples and found that, whether the wife is working or not, if the husband is not—or has only a part-time job—the marriage is more likely to end in divorce. (Granted, the study mainly focused on straight relationships.) And a series of other recent studies show that even when men are working full-time, just bringing in a smaller paycheck makes them more likely to cheat, do less of the housework, and (you can’t make this stuff up) need a prescription to treat erectile dysfunction. It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry.

emale breadwinners told Glamour they loved making the money, but many admitted their relationships took a hit. One 38-year-old woman in Albany, New York, with a good job in communications told Glamour she was “genuinely surprised to see how anguished my husband was about not being able to make more of a financial contribution. He considers himself a feminist and believes strongly in equality, so this issue sort of blindsided both of us.” It gets more complicated for a 30-year-old I’ll call Terry. She describes herself as a “can-do, go get ’em” type and is supporting her husband through graduate school, but she’d like some acknowledgment of how hard she’s working. The money, she says, isn’t an issue. What bothers her is the way his shame and guilt mean “we can’t even talk about it.” Even Jessica Bennett, 35, author of the new book Feminist Fight Club, told me she once spent a year trying to conceal a pay raise from her live-in boyfriend. “I was worried that he would feel more like a failure for not being the male provider than he would feel happy for me

as the partner who was achieving,” she says. “He never said that. But do I think that deep down it made him feel self-conscious? For sure.” Some women admit feeling uncomfortable themselves. Lauren Sengele, 32, a brand marketer in Indianapolis, moved in with a guy knowing she would always make much more than he would. “I was fine with it at first, except I grew exceptionally frustrated that any time we wanted to do something nice I had to pay for it,” she says. “I began to feel more like a parent than a partner.” And the communications pro in Albany confessed that she loved being the breadw inner—until she had a child and wished she could stay home: “But my husband’s income didn’t cover even our most basic expenses. Back to work I went, feeling very grouchy.” So how do men feel? Norman Baldwin Jr. says his marriage to Leila Noelliste became strained after her website, Black Girl With Long Hair, became so wildly successful that he started working for her. “Culturally, especially in black culture, the man is the one who makes all the money,” says Baldwin, 32, of Brooklyn. “I’m super impressed with her, but it’s been a rough and bumpy transition.” Noelliste, 31, puts it like this: “Last December we really hit bottom. I realized: Our dynamic is effed up; him quitting his job to help me with the business is not going to work. At the time we just didn’t have the tools to navigate a relationship where the woman is the one making more.” Cuyler Mortimore, 33, a stay-at-home dad in Shelton, Washington, also struggled. “For a long time I felt like I was a financial drain,” he admits. “I grew up with a pretty big emphasis on the man being the head of the house.” Asked what he thought about how income disparities could lead to infidelity, he says, “I can see why a guy might cheat. You feel lonely and vulnerable a lot of the time. I’m constantly surrounded by other moms and rarely any dads, and I can imagine how that could raise temptations.”

How three couples successfully navigate that He’s the Stay-at-Home Dad

Her Paycheck Doubles His

Megan Lau, 31, is a senior research manager at Microsoft; Brian Lau, 32, takes care of their nine-monthold daughter in Bothell, Washington.

Courtney Patterson, 40, is a senior director at a nonprofit; Tom Karpf, 43, is a public school teacher in Silver Spring, Maryland.

After college, where they met, Megan got hired in her dream field, while Brian tried various careers. When they decided he should quit and man the home front, “it was a change, but not earth-shattering,” he says. For Megan, “it was fantastic. I tell him every day how impressed I am with the care he’s giving our daughter. And who knows, we might switch roles someday.” Her two cents: “If Brian were working, we’d have extra money, but we’d also have to send our daughter to day care. You have to do the math about what makes you happy.” His two cents: “Everyone asks, ‘What do you do?’ as if your job defines you. You’ve got to let that go. I hate those TV commercials where the dad is perplexed by babies or doesn’t know how to use the dryer. I love challenging that stereotype.”

“I’ve never looked for a partner to take care of me,” says Patterson. “I just looked for a partner,” Karpf, who comes from a nontraditional family, says. “We knew going into this relationship that I was more of an artist, more right-brained.” His two cents: “If your financial roles bother you, ask yourself who or what is making you feel that way. Your parents? The culture? And does it really matter?” Her two cents: “We talk a lot about priorities. We constantly renegotiate the division of labor at home, especially now that we have two kids. We see housework and children as projects we want to split fifty-fifty.”

“You have to do the math about what makes you happy,” Megan Lau says.

She Makes Seven Times His Salary Colleen Hannigan, 29, is a technology transactions attorney; Tristan Chappell, 34, is a special education classroom counselor in Boston. Both Hannigan and Chappell say they talked about the division of labor up front, before they even lived together. “Now,” Hannigan says, “we pool everything. Luckily our personalities line up. If he were left to his own devices, he’d eat nothing but bulk rice and never buy new shoes. And I’m the one who’s going to buy the shoes—even when they’re not necessary.” His two cents: “I’ll do stuff around the house if it means we can spend more quality time together.” Her two cents: “The most important thing in making this kind of relationship work is visible and vocal appreciation. I frequently feel guilty, like I’m not pulling my weight at home. He always does such a great job of saying, ‘No, you’re doing more than enough, and I value what you’re contributing.’ That is so key.” —Maggie Mertens

dream—and where we actually are,” says Bennett, “are two separate things. Gender expectations run deep, like really f--ing deep, and I think that even the most progressive millennial men and women who say they want these things, and I think most really do, have a harder time acting it out in reality.” So where do we even start? First, Harvard’s Killewald urges every couple to “think about what a good partnership looks like for you.” Picture carefully the roles you want to play and then talk about it. A nd keep t a l k ing about it. For Baldwin and Noelliste, it took couples therapy to forklift them out of their rough patch. “I learned to feel proud of working my butt She’s the Boss Baldwin and Noelliste off and not be constantly apologetic— and to allow Norm to show his strengths,” she says. “He’s had to learn, ‘Maybe I don’t bring home the bacon, but there are other ways to be a leader of our household, like contributing to long-term planning.’ So for us it’s been exploring all that. I think we are in a good place now, but it took a long journey to get here.” Second, keep in mind that along with all those depressing new studies, there’s also emerging research suggesting that traditional marriages are not inherently happier. In fact, the opposite may be true, according to Stephanie Coontz, author of Marriage: A History. Already, she says, “in European countries with good work-family supports, traditional male breadwinner families where the woman shoulders the domestic duties are now less stable than dual-earner couples.”

Life / Crowdsource This

Sometimes when I get incredibly horny (i.e., quite often), I will take it out on my phone, sending scandalous pictures and Snapchats and sexting with guys I’m only casual with. It’s so much fun, and I don’t know that I want to stop. But should I worry? —B.B., 25, Encino, Calif.

“Sexting has a lot of risk, just like any other sexual activity, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. As with everything in life, there’s no way you can be 100 percent safe. Still, you could have a conversation with the person you’re sexting to make your expectations of privacy explicit. The real solution, of course, is to stop slut shaming, because then it wouldn’t matter as much if a woman’s naked photos ended up on the Internet, and you could sext with a lot less fear!” —Amy Adele Hasinoff, author of Sexting Panic: Rethinking Criminalization, Privacy, and Consent

It’s definitely an empowering move for women to do risqué stuff like that, and a lot of us feel more bold and free by doing and saying things over electronic media that we might not in person. Just know that there are ways to have fun without really exposing yourself: You can make a new, anonymous Snapchat account in less than a minute or use a Google Voice number, and always avoid showing your face. If you’re careful and do it in a way that conceals your identity, I think you’re fine.” Sexting 101 Get your face outta that photo, girl!

“I say go for it.

In a national survey, one in five single Americans said they had sent and/or received photos or sexy words. But of all the people who had gotten them, almost a quarter also said they’d shared them, and with an average of three people! (And men were more likely to show them to a friend than women were.) That’s scary enough, but if someone were to forward your sexts, things could get exponential very quickly. The only way to be sure that nothing will get out there is to not send it.”

You may take a few minutes to compose and snap a good photo, but it takes a guy only a few seconds to share it with his pal Jimmy. Now, Jimmy might not be a bad guy, but maybe he sends it to his college roommate, Craig, who has changed a lot since college and, unbeknownst to Jimmy, started a revenge-porn blog. By then, any say you had over how the content is presented has evaporated. It’s another nude pic out in a digital world that’s teeming with them.

Life / The Provocateur

Why I Hate My Dog

t’s Friday night, and I’m running around my neighborhood, barefoot, screaming “Fig Newton!” and shaking a prescription bottle over my head like a maraca. Usually when our dog runs away, the sound of his Prozac brings him home, and tonight is no exception. Fig skids to a stop in front of our house, wearing an expression reminiscent of an obnoxious tween busted for snapping someone’s bra strap: Who, me? When I first laid eyes on Fig, he was 12 weeks old, in a windowless shelter, in a cage by himself. I immediately fell in love with his red eyelashes and the way he placed one paw on each of my shoulders. Our life together flashed before my eyes: long walks, meaningful gazes, lazy afternoons on the porch—basically a Viagra commercial starring a midsize orange dog and me. Within an hour of my bringing him home, Fig had shredded every roll of toilet paper in our house. He cried so loudly and for so long that one of our neighbors called to see if we needed an ambulance. My husband’s warning echoed in my head: “Babies grow up. Dogs don’t.” That was only the beginning. During his first year with our family, Fig didn’t just fail out of obedience school; he f lat out refused to participate. When we hired a private trainer ($175 per hour), Fig raised one eyebrow and went back to pacing around the coffee table for eight hours a day. He went on hunger strikes and chewed through three leashes (two canvas, one leather). We bought Fig a backpack ($32) to wear on walks; the trainer said it would give him a sense of purpose. Because he was petrified of running water, we bought him a compression vest ($45) to wear when we showered or when it rained. Eventually we got rid of our hose. I’ve soldiered through the death of a parent, nursed a baby through pneumonia, and assembled Ikea bookshelves; I’m up for a challenge. But Fig Newton turned out to be the Ironman when all I’d wanted was a sweat-free stroll in the park. At his one-year checkup, our vet recommended a canine behaviorist ($400, not covered by pet insurance), who prescribed Fig’s Prozac (priceless). You should see the strange looks I get when I pick up a prescription for Fig Newton Egan.

Who’s a Good Dog? Fig, in a rare peaceful moment

Thanks to the Prozac, Fig no longer tries to bite off his own leg, but he still isn’t the peaceful companion of my dreams. He will jump out the window of a moving car and knock a pot of tomato sauce off the stove. When we feed him, he throws up his food and immediately eats it again, a disgusting habit our kids call “hot lunch.” For dessert he grazes in the cats’ litter box. Last year Fig ingested a childproof bottle of extra-strength Tylenol and had to have his stomach pumped ($175). And this is with medication! Fig, in short, is like a boyfriend who calls too much and then whines, sulks, and paws at you when you don’t let him bury his snout in your crotch. But here’s the difference between Fig and a boyfriend: I can’t break up with him. I would no sooner “rehome” him than I would send my kids to live with strangers. I made a commitment that day in the animal shelter, and now I’m sticking by Fig until the end of his days—a bond tightened by the adoration of my kids and husband, who are as devoted to Fig as I am exasperated. And so I’ve added dog ownership to the roster of things I don’t enjoy as much as other people seem to. (That list also includes breastfeeding, yoga, karaoke, facials, parades, and my twenties.) But I’m not allowed to admit that—it seems that we are required to love our animals, all the time and without reservation. Recently at the dog park, a fellow human asked which beast was mine. I pointed to Fig, who was enthusiastically humping an elderly corgi. I admitted, “He’s a handful. Actually, he’s ruining my life.” The woman scooted to the other side of the bench. Would she have had such an unsympathetic reaction if I’d made a similar admission about one of my kids? When did zealotry become a requirement of pet ownership? Here’s what I’ve learned about dog people: They love to proselytize. Every time I stop at a red light, I’m face-to-face with their bumper stickers: “Who Rescued Who?” or “You Had Me at Woof.” So I’m anticipating some criticism for my honesty. But don’t worry about Fig, who has legions of fans. I have his back. And his Prozac. Elisabeth Egan is the books editor at Glamour and the author of A Window Opens. She loves cats.

Life / Working It Holding On to the Past “This is about restoring a piece of our history,” Swift says; far left, her most essential tools.

What I wish people knew about my job…

Everyone told Amy Swift, 33, that construction work was a man’s job. So she started her own company and proved them all wrong. I fell in love with buildings as a kid in Michigan, following plumbing lines and watching construction workers drywall houses in my subdivision. Fast-forward to 2009: I was in New York City, climbing the ladder at a huge architecture firm—but I wasn’t happy. Then I got laid off. I had been pursuing my master’s in historic preservation at Columbia University, so I moved home to finish my thesis. I took on odd jobs, and I bought a house at auction for $1,350. Rookie mistake: It needed a ton of work. The windows were beautiful but rotted and broken. I wanted to fix them, but I couldn’t find anyone to do it. I noticed there was a real need for skilled tradespeople. So I took a contractor-training course, then started specializing in window restoration. Now my phone keeps ringing, and my company, Building Hugger, has a staff of 14. I don’t want to make oodles of money. I just want to provide good jobs to Detroiters who deserve them.

Window Woman Swift, rocking her hard hat and refurbishing a historic window

On my average workday…

What it’s like to be a woman in construction… I get mixed reactions from people, but this is Michigan. This is the home of Rosie the Riveter. Either people get it because their grandma was on the line at Willow Run Airplane Plant during World War II— or they expect a woman to shut up and stay in the kitchen. That’s just my experience. My mom is a boss lady. She’s in health care management, and she’d talk to me about how to work with people. It’s ingrained in me to be a strong woman and stand up for your place.

How I’ve created a safe space for women… Two thirds of our staff are women. We’re proud of that; women come to us because they know that this is a safe environment for developing their skills—we have carpenters, field crew members, even a chemist. We have a unique opportunity to bring more women into the trade who traditionally have been discouraged.

We start around 8:00 A.M., getting the crew set up for their job sites. Sometimes I’m at the hardware store, or I’m on site. It’s been a personal journey of realizing that I can’t be everywhere at once. I don’t get many days off. When I do, I go kayaking; I also play in a local soccer league to clear my head.

How we’re growing… So far, in 2016, we have restored 850 windows. We have a waiting list of almost 100 people for me to even look at their windows! It’s a lot of work—stripping down 100-year-old windows, repairing the wood, and then hanging them back up. But we’re saving part of Detroit’s history.

My best work advice… At my first job I worked for an architect, and my creative vision didn’t align with his. I learned what I didn’t want to do. Sometimes the jobs you hate the most are the most enlightening; they define where you want to go. —as told to Jessica Militare

Life / The One-eighty Finley, 37, getting ready to fly last year

Girl Runs Away, Joins Cırcus

remember my first trapeze class like it was yesterday. I climbed up the ladder and stood on that tiny pedestal 25 feet in the air, thinking, I’m going to die. I was 24, and my dad had just passed away from bile duct cancer. My father had raised me since I was four. After my parents separated, it was just me and him in Los Angeles. We were so close that I moved back in with him when I returned from the military. I had a great job—stable work, good pay, benefits— fixing equipment at the Anheuser-Busch brewery. When a friend mentioned she’d started trapeze classes, I was dealing with my dad’s diagnosis and too preoccupied to really notice. Then, when he passed and I was trying to get out of the house, get into my life again, it came back to me: Did she tell me she was flying trapeze? That’s crazy; I want to try it. So I went. The first time on that platform, like I said, I was scared. But I told myself there were safety lines; all I had to do was listen to the instructors. So at “ready, set…hup!” I grabbed the trapeze, swung through the air, and hung by my knees before dropping to the net. I did the trick. And I was hooked. I continued to take classes, and about eight months later my instructor’s friend, who had a small family circus, asked, “You wanna fly in the show tomorrow?” I thought he was joking. But he wasn’t. They wanted me to do a somersault and an upsidedown split, where the catcher catches you in midair. (I called mine the Flying Y because I wasn’t that flexible and my legs made a Y instead of a straight line.) At that point I had never done either without the safety harness. But they promised to scoop me up if I blew it. So I said OK—and I did the show. I can’t describe the feeling because it was so incredible. It was like, Oh my God, I can do it.

180 glamour.com

Performing with that circus was so much fun that when I heard Ringling Brothers was looking for a trapeze artist, I called and got my first paying gig. I took a leave of absence from my job for three months and went, with my cat, to live on the company train. I just loved it—so much so that when I came back, I quit the brewery, gave everything to Goodwill, and drove to Florida, this time to work for The Big Apple Circus. That was 13 years ago. I’ve been on the road ever since. Now I travel with my boyfriend, also a trapeze artist. We have our truck and trailer filled with our four cats, two dogs, three frogs, and a buttload of tools. My latest act is trying to find work as the human cannonball, which is huge. Only a couple of women do it—and a black chick? I don’t know of any others like me. I always thought you had to be an amazing gymnast to do trapeze. You don’t. What you do have to do is trust strangers with your life. And listen to every direction thrown at you. That’s a lesson for life, because it’s often so hard to listen to what others are telling you. My dad left L.A. only twice before he died; he was too worried about taking care of me. So I knew I needed to go explore and meet people and do things because he never did. Even though I never know where my next gig will be, I love the life I have now. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. —as told to Maggie Mertens

Lessons From My 180 What I miss: “That job with the insurance and free beer! But flying trapeze has kept me young. It’s helped me grow.”

What I’ve learned: “In the circus, the second you have a doubt, that’s when you mess up. It’s the same for life: Before you leap, know what you’re going to do and just go. Whatever happens, you’ll figure it out.” Look for more stories of women who changed their life each month at glamour.com/lifechange, brought to you by the all-new 2017 Chevrolet Malibu.

What We Believe

Eighty-two percent of us say religion plays an important role in our lives. So why aren’t we talking about it? Six women kick-start the conversation here. As told to Mikki Halpin

“I asked my rabbi, ‘What will become of me?’ ” Virginia Heffernan, 47, the author of Magic and Loss: The Internet as Art, converted to Judaism when she got married. When the relationship ended, the New Yorker converted back.

In my twenties I called myself a moderately devout Episcopalian. I had a sturdy faith, but I went to church only on Easter or Christmas. Then my fiancé, who was raised as an Orthodox Jew and wanted his children to be matrilineally Jewish, asked me to convert before we married. And so at

age 33 I began converting to Conservative Judaism. It’s a complex process. As part of the ritual, the rabbi turned me away three times. I had to study the Torah for a year and reject holidays like Christmas. At first I thought my conversion would be like moving from Illinois to Indi-

Talk / The Conversation

Rabbi Elianna Yolkut, 39, of Washington, D.C., wanted to be a different kind of Jew than her family. I was raised as an Orthodox Jew, which people think of as very strict, but religion never felt like an imposition to me when I was a kid. Occasionally I felt I was missing out—like when I couldn’t go out with friends on Friday night because of the Sabbath—but questioning it in a deep way never came up for me. But by age 23 Orthodox Judaism began to feel limiting to me; it didn’t address the way I saw myself and the way I believed the Torah should be applied in our world today. I wanted to be part of a faith that embraced change while honoring tradition, one that didn’t limit the role of women in leadership, and one that didn’t believe there was something fundamentally wrong with gay people. So I left Orthodox Judaism and became a Conservative Jew. I chose a path that felt more authentic to the Torah I grew up with, a Torah of kindness and compassion. It wreaked a lot of havoc emotionally for my parents, because their community was very judgmental. I lost friends, and my parents lost friends over it. But I held firm, and I even decided to become a rabbi. Around the same time, I came out as a lesbian to my friends and family. Even though Conservative Judaism was more welcoming to the gay community and to women, I had to stay closeted at my rabbinical school and during part of my first job as a rabbi because there was a prohibition against gay and lesbian rabbis. That stricture has since been lifted, so I have seen firsthand how a synagogue can maintain tradition while innovating. That’s one of the reasons I decided to become a rabbi: I felt like I could help shape something different. I hope I am uniquely prepared to reach out to folks who might feel placed on the margins and help them access Jewish wisdom—to help them feel welcome, accepted, and loved. Mikki Halpin is a writer and editor living in Brooklyn.

The Meaning of Michelle Mrs. O’s significance, explained

That FLOTUS Magic Obama at the ’16 convention

I had a weird lump in my throat, seeing Michelle Obama speak at the Democratic National Convention in 2008. Resplendent in her teal dress, she laid it all on the line with her unique blend of intellect and humor. I had never even seen her before and yet was moved to tears. Eight years later the First Lady has sky-high approval ratings, and a powerful new anthology, The Meaning of Michelle, looks at her legacy. Glamour asked the book’s editor, Veronica Chambers, and some of its writers to explain their Mrs. O connections. —Elisabeth Egan Why do you feel such a bond with her? “I remember seeing footage of Michelle on the campaign trail the first time—dancing, her hair pulled back. She just seemed real. We’re both black women from urban neighborhoods: I’m from

Newark, New Jersey, and Michelle is from the South Side of Chicago. People make assumptions about people who come out of ‘bad’ neighborhoods. We both came out of these places whole.” —Benilde Little, author of Welcome to My Breakdown What can we learn from her? “[Mrs. Obama and I] were at an event in Manhattan. It was shortly after Bill [de Blasio, my husband] was sworn in as mayor. So here we were, two black First Ladies, meeting for the very first time. I asked her, ‘Do you have any advice for me?’ ‘Surround yourself with people you trust,’ she said. She stressed how I would have to protect my personal time. Finally she said with assurance, ‘You’ll be all right.’ I often think back on that, and whenever I do, the soundness of her advice becomes increasingly clear.” —Chirlane McCray,

poet, speechwriter, First Lady of New York City How do you envision Mrs. Obama’s legacy? “As a black woman, to see a black woman as the First Lady certainly means quite a lot. She has prioritized us. With her power, grace, and intelligence, she has shown us what’s possible.” —Roxane Gay, author of Difficult Women So what’s next for her? “Every time I see #Michelle2024, my heart beats a little bit faster.” —Veronica Chambers, author of Mama’s Girl

“I feel like I got woken up this year. I’m really alive.” Gwen Stefani has had a lot of big years. But with a chart-topping album, a major solo tour, an expanding fashion line, and a new love after heartbreak, the 47-year-old is outdoing even herself in 2016. She breaks it all down for us here.

“Gwen shows that youth is a mind-set. She’s curious. She grows sweeter with time. And she continues to change the game.”

And as the world knows, she also found a new love: Blake Shelton, the country music star she got to know on The Voice. In May the two performed their country song, “Go Ahead and Break My Heart”—Stefani’s first foray into the genre—on the show, prompting fans to beg for a full album of duets. But the best thing about Gwen Stefani is that the woman does her own thing—always, every year, every decade. She has thumbed her nose at societal restrictions placed on women (lamenting, “I’ve had it up to here!” in the 1995 song “Just a Girl”). She has championed eccentricity with her let-your-freak-flag-fly fashions. And by writing uncompromising music, including her heartrending new songs, she’s shown us all how to summon strength through selfexpression. “Sometimes to be woken up again in life, you need to go through some really bad, hard times,” she says. “I feel like I got woken up this year.” The Glamour Woman of the Year reflects on 2016—and the future—here.

decade along now. How did you first get into fashion? GS: It’s in my blood! My mom was always making me clothes. We’d go to the fabric store, pick out patterns, and it was a creative process. I heard that word a lot growing up: creative.… You should have seen my room. It was a pigsty with a sewing machine. I would get stuff, and then I would change it. Alter it. My mom would help me.… At the same time, I was so naive. I didn’t know anything about fashion, growing up in Orange County. I just knew about it through music, how ska bands dressed. GLAMOUR: Early on in No Doubt, you had a very tomboyish look, and you poked fun at gender restrictions in songs like “Just a Girl” [“I’m just a girl, little ol’ me, well, don’t let me out of your sight / Oh, I’m just a girl, all pretty and petite, so don’t let me have any rights”]. It seems like part of the subtext of how you dressed was rejecting how a woman “should” present herself to the world. GS: People will tell me, “You’re such a punk rebel,” this or that, but I was not that growing up. I was actually a super-sheltered, conservative girl. Now, there was probably a bit of me that was like, “Why do I have to be like that?” Because when you discover your sexuality—like when you’re little, (continued on page 236)

THE WOMAN WHO STOOD UP TO ISIS

Nadia

MURAD “She is more than a survivor…. She is a brave, resilient, determined, stubborn, soulful woman who has decided to go deep within herself and recount the worst horrors that any person could ever go through so that others don’t have to go through the same thing.”

hen Nadia Murad, 23, escaped ISIS in the fall of 2014, she fled through the streets of the Iraqi city of Mosul, looking for a house that might shelter her. Terror lay behind her—three months of captivity and torture. Freedom was ahead if she chose the right door to knock on. Her life depended on that choice, on whether or not the people inside would help her or send her back to the men who’d kidnapped and gang-raped her. She took a deep breath and knocked. “I didn’t believe that out of 2 million people in Mosul, anyone would be kind enough to help, but this family did,” she says. After they took her in, they listened to her story—and later smuggled her out of the city as one of their own. For her, it was a lesson in the lifesaving power of kindness and the courage to stand up for what’s right. That’s a lesson she herself is teaching now. Murad belongs to the Yazidi people, followers of an ancient religion in northern Iraq. She’s one of 6,700 women and girls who have been kidnapped from their homes by the so-called Islamic State. Over the past two and a half years, as the group made headlines for beheading foreign aid workers and journalists, ISIS has committed genocide against the Yazidis and other minorities in its drive to seize territory in Iraq and Syria. Now, in an act of astonishing moxie, Nadia Murad is trying to bring ISIS to justice. “Justice for me,” she says, “isn’t to behead them. They don’t care about getting killed. They blow up their own children.” Instead, she is suing the terrorists in an international court and wants the fighters to listen to their victims’ stories. “I want them to hear the five-year-old boy they kidnapped and the nine-year-old girl they raped and the 30-year-old mother whose children they killed,” she (continued on page 237)

Miuccia THE FASHION FORCE

PRADA

“Mrs. Prada does not make trends with her work; she makes statements. In her design there is…a collision of the bold and the gentle, the hard and the soft. She understands that to be a woman in the modern world is to be more than one thing at once. So much so that we utter, ‘It’s simply Prada or nada!’”

hen I interviewed for my first editorin-chief job years ago, a friend who worked in fashion took me aside to offer counsel on what to wear. “You’ll want a Prada suit,” he instructed. Not to worry, I told him, I had a few good suits. I was fine with suits. “No,” he said, looking exasperated. “A Prada suit. Do you understand?” Oh. I trotted uptown with some annoyance, but the second I walked into Prada’s mint green Fifth Avenue flagship, I understood. I had been wearing clothes. This was fashion. I tried on half the store, plunked down my cash for a cleverly designed boxy black nylon jacket and a sporty skirt—the look of the moment—and held my underpaid breath as I snipped off the tags. I got the job, and I still have that suit. It was only years later, though, as I watched show after wildly creative show up close in Milan, that I understood where the magic of Prada comes from, which is, plain and simple, the curious, eclectic, independent, feminist brain of Miuccia Prada. Mrs. Prada, as she’s called, is not a showy, self-promoting type; blink and you’ll miss her runway bow. But almost 40 years into her career, she’s still the designer to beat in terms of consistent critical success, and a wonderful example of someone who has built an enormous business while still having— wait for it—fun. “Fun…should always be present when you work,” says Prada, 67, who’s been known to exit her Via Fogazzaro office by a three-story twisty slide built there for her by the artist Carsten Höller. “Until I am smiling, I know I am doing nothing good.” And this has worked. Today Prada’s empire, cohelmed by her husband, Patrizio Bertelli, includes six Prada collections a year and four for sister line Miu Miu; the company has more than 600 stores worldwide. Last year Prada and Bertelli opened a groundbreaking Rem Koolhaas–designed headquarters for their Fondazione Prada in Milan. There, visitors find everything from a four-story gallery covered in gold leaf called the Haunted House to an extremely Instagrammable café conceived by the director

Wes Anderson. This year the brand also launched fragrances La Femme Prada and L’Homme Prada, a process the designer cheerfully describes as “a nightmare” because of her longtime conviction that “there is no one ‘Prada woman’” or, by extension, single Prada image or scent. “I have no ‘icon,’ ” she says. “I hate the idea! Women are what they are. I do what I think is right…and if people like it, I am happy.” Once upon a time, though, she had zero interest in fashion as a career. Prada, whose grandfather Mario Prada founded the family’s leather-goods company in 1913, was more interested in theater (she trained as a mime) and politics. “There was a serious revolution going on; you really felt you could change something,” she says of the sixties. Working in fashion didn’t seem substantial in comparison. Even after she took over the label, creating its iconic nylon backpacks—even after she began producing women’s wear, 10 years in—she kept her designs restrained and minimal. “What I wanted at the beginning [was] to really hide who I was. I didn’t want to tell too much about myself,” she admits now. “I was refusing to be fully involved in the fashion world.… I had to go through all my passage through the Fondazione and the work in art to feel more happy in my own job.” When she started bringing more of herself to her work in the early nineties, though, everything shifted. (Doesn’t it always?) For two decades now, Prada’s collections have lassoed the world’s attention without ever getting predictable. (Her shows are such draws for fashion lovers that once, when a normally levelheaded colleague of mine got the time wrong and missed one, she burst into tears.) “Every season is a new range of reference,” says her friend the artist Francesco Vezzoli. “And why is that? Because Mrs. Prada is not making fashion. She is ‘just thinking,’ and so her reflections surface on the garment she produces.” There are, of course, some common denominators season to season: Prada’s repurposing of trappings of traditional femininity, from corsetry to crystal (continued on page 239)

Simone THE RECORD BREAKER

BILES

“She is the prime example that it doesn’t matter where you come from or what your circumstances are, you shall overcome any obstacle put in your way. This is for all the girls doing little somersaults in the yard and thinking they can’t do it. Simone has shown them that they can.”

here was a moment, right before Simone Biles took the floor to compete in her first Olympic event this summer, that makes her mom tear up when she tells the story. “I am a basket case inside at all of her competitions,” says Nellie Biles. “But this was the Olympics—her goal. Her dream. What we had all sacrificed so much for. Simone said to me, ‘Mom, I know you’re nervous. You need to just relax. You need to know, Mom, that I am ready.’ ” And she was: Biles, who had gone into the Games as the most decorated U.S. gymnast in history and the heavy favorite in Rio, nailed that event and went on to win five medals, with one impossibly difficult, near-flawless performance after another. Over those few days in August, more than 30 million Americans tuned in to watch her compete, while millions more replayed her routines on YouTube and everyone from Samuel L. Jackson to Hillary Clinton fangirled over her on Twitter. Biles, 19, isn’t just another athlete, either: Journalists falter finding words to describe her. “She’s special. Really, the best gymnast I’ve ever seen,” sums up 1984 gold medalist Mary Lou Retton. “You don’t teach what Simone has—a natural explosiveness and power.”

210 glamour.com

The secret of her success? Athletically, Biles is a perfect storm. She’s strong—strong enough to soar twice the height of her 4'8" frame (which gives her unparalleled up-in-the-air time to fit in twists and flips). As a result, her routines are astonishingly difficult; one skill she invented—a double flip in the layout position, with a half twist and a blind landing—is now simply referred to as the Biles. She’s also determined, training 32 hours every week. And mentally, she’s tough. Her philosophy for dealing with the unimaginable performance pressure: “We’re out there for less than 10 minutes, and you prepare your whole life for this. I knew the expectations were there, but I can only control what I do, not what anyone else wants me to do. You just have to go out and have fun with it.” She attributes those coping skills to the people who raised her. Her biological mother struggled with drug and alcohol problems. Biles spent the first few years of her life in and out of foster care until her grandparents, Nellie and Ron, stepped in and brought three-year-old Simone and her younger sister, Adria, to live with them, later adopting the girls. Biles has called them Mom and Dad ever since and gives them tremendous credit for her career. “I’ve been brought up to never take (continued on page 240)

Emily Doe THE SURVIVOR

“Her heroically raw, vulnerable, and deeply personal statement…put every reader in her shoes. With each sentence we felt her injustice. Emily Doe will forever be remembered as the person who changed the conversation about rape. On behalf of every man and woman of every age: Thank you, Emily. We believe you.”

—Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson Photograph by Martin Klimas

t started with a simple sentence: “You don’t know me, but you’ve been inside me, and that’s why we’re here today.” Maybe you read the powerful words—part of a “victim’s impact statement” the young woman who’d been sexually assaulted at Stanford University had prepared to read to her attacker in court—on BuzzFeed, glued to your screen, feeling rage and awe as you absorbed her account. (If you didn’t, read it now.) The facts of the case were harrowing: On January 18, 2015, after a party, “Emily Doe,” as she came to be called, had been sexually assaulted by freshman Brock Turner as she lay unconscious behind a dumpster; two men passing by on bicycles saw the crime and tackled Turner as he ran away. But it was Doe’s take-no-prisoners telling of what happened afterward—the relentless victim-blaming; the favoring of Turner, a student athlete—that changed the conversation about sexual assault forever. “Future reference, if you are confused about whether a girl can consent, see if she can speak an entire sentence,” she wrote to Turner. And this: “I am not just a drunk victim at a frat party…while you are the All American swimmer at a top university…I am a human being who has been irreversibly hurt.… You took away my worth, my privacy, my energy, my time, my safety,

my intimacy, my confidence, my own voice, until today.” Doe found her voice, if not her justice. After Turner was convicted last spring, the judge sentenced him to just six months, saying anything more would have “a severe impact on him” (see below). But Doe’s words circled the globe. Within four days her statement had been viewed 11 million times; it was read aloud on CNN and the floor of Congress. Rape hotlines experienced surges in both calls and offers of volunteer help. And importantly, California closed the loophole that had allowed lighter sentences in cases where the victim is unconscious or severely intoxicated. We all know the statistics: One out of every six females will have someone rape her—or attempt to. Doe sent those women a message: I am with you. “As the author Anne Lamott once wrote, ‘Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining,’ ” she posted. “Although I can’t save every boat, I hope that by [my] speaking today, you absorbed a small amount of light…and a big, big knowing that you are important, unquestionably, you are untouchable, you are beautiful.” Glamour is honored to name Emily Doe a Woman of the Year; here, for the first time, she tells what happened next. —Cindi Leive

Justice for Emily Doe: How You Can Help Brock Turner, who sexually assaulted Emily Doe, could have served up to 14 years; the prosecutor asked for a term of at least six. But Judge Aaron Persky sentenced him to only six months, and he was out after three. Outraged, Stanford Law professor Michele Landis Dauber is leading a recall campaign to remove Judge Persky from the bench. “His decision sent a chilling message to women across the state and nation—that sexual assault should not be taken seriously,” Dauber says. “This recall election will send back a clear message: Enough is enough.” To help, go to recallaaronpersky.com/donate before December 31 and contribute any amount, big or small. 214 glamour.com

From the beginning, I was told I was a best case scenario. I had forensic evidence, sober unbiased witnesses, a slurred voice mail, police at the scene. I had everything, and I was still told it was not a slam dunk. I thought, if this is what having it good looks like, what other hells are survivors living? I’m barely getting through this but I am being told I’m the lucky one, some sort of VIP. It was like being checked into a hotel room for a year with stained sheets, rancid water, and a bucket with an attendant saying, No this is great! Most rooms don’t even have a bucket. After the trial I was relieved thinking the hardest part was over, and all that was left was the sentencing. I was excited to finally be given a chance to read my statement and declare, I am here. I am not that f loppy thing you found behind the garbage, speaking melted words. I am here, I can stand upright, I can speak clearly, I’ve been listening and am painfully aware of all the hurt you’ve been trying to justify. I yelled half of my statement. So when it was quickly announced that he’d be receiving six months, I was struck silent. Immediately I felt embarrassed for trying, for being led to believe I had any influence. The violation of my body and my being added up to a few months out of his summer. The judge would release him back to his life, back to the 40 people who had written him letters from Ohio. I began to panic; I thought, this can’t be the best case scenario. If this case was meant to set the bar, the bar had been set on the floor.

he morning after the sentencing, my phone screen was stacked with texts and I turned it over saying, not today, on this day I deserve to sleep. My phone kept ringing and I learned that BuzzFeed was waiting for my permission to publish my court state-

ment in full. As soon as it was posted, I remember thinking, what have I done, making myself exposed and vulnerable again. I texted my sister when it hit 20,000 views, thinking that was it, the comments were actually quite nice, and I closed my computer. I started getting e-mails forwarded to me from Botswana to Ireland to India. I received watercolor paintings of lighthouses and bicycle earrings. A woman who plucked a picture of her young daughter from the inside of her cubicle wrote, This is who you’re saving. When I received an e-mail that Joe Biden had written me a letter I was sitting in my pajamas eating some cantaloupe. You are a warrior. I looked around my room, who is he talking to. You have a steel spine, I touched my spine. I printed his letter out and ran around the house flapping it in the air. There was, of course, the wee sprinkle of trolls. Some photos of me leaked and someone said, “She’s not pretty enough to have been raped.” In response I say, damn I wish the world could see me. I wish you could see my big, beautiful head and huge eyes. Perhaps now you are at home imagining me looking like some sort of bloated owl. That’s all right. When Ashleigh Banfield read my letter on the news I sat stunned watching her speak my words, imagining them being spoken on every television set in the nation. Watching women and men at Gracie Mansion, on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, girls in their rooms, gathered together to read each segment, holding my words in their voices. My body seemed too small to hold what I felt. In the very beginning of it all in 2015, one comment managed to lodge harmfully inside me: Sad. I hope my daughter never ends up like her. I

absorbed that statement. Ends up. As if we end somewhere, as if what was done to me marked the completion of my story. Instead of being a role model to be looked up to, I was a sad example to learn from, a story that caused you to shield your daughter’s eyes and shake your heads with pity. But when my letter was published, no one turned away. No one said I’d rather not look, it’s too much, or too sad. Everyone pushed through the hard parts, saw me fully to the end, and embraced every feeling. If you think the answer is that women need to be more sober, more civil, more upright, that girls must be better at exercising fear, must wear more layers with eyes open wider, we will go nowhere. When Judge Aaron Persky mutes the word justice, when Brock Turner serves one month for every felony, we go nowhere. When we all make it a priority to avoid harming or violating another human being, and when we hold accountable those who do, when the campaign to recall this judge declares that survivors deserve better, then we are going somewhere.

o now to the one who said, I hope my daughter never ends up like her, I am learning to say, I hope you end up like me, meaning, I hope you end up like me strong. I hope you end up like me proud of who I’m becoming. I hope you don’t “end up,” I hope you keep going. And I hope you grow up knowing that the world will no longer stand for this. Victims are not victims, not some fragile, sorrowful aftermath. Victims are survivors, and survivors are going to be doing a hell of a lot more than surviving. “Emily Doe” has chosen to remain anonymous.

Zendaya THE VOICE FOR GIRLS

“She’s beautiful and rad, with a fearlessness that is impressive in someone her age. I think I still have quite a bit to learn from Zendaya.”

—actor Zac Efron By Alex Morris Photograph by Victor Demarchelier Stylist: Law Roach

endaya was in fifth grade when she learned the power of action—and inaction. One of her classmates was being bullied, and Zendaya, like many of her classmates, stood by and watched rather than get involved. Some parents, hearing the story, wrote it off as kids being kids, but not Zendaya’s parents. “They pulled me out of the classroom, and I got a little bit cussed out,” she says. “I was like, ‘This is B.S. I didn’t do anything.’ But the point was, when you see something happening, you don’t just stand there. Knowing something is wrong and not doing anything is basically like doing it.” 216 glamour.com

Zendaya, now 20, still lives by that philosophy. The star of Shake It Up and K.C. Undercover has 32 million Instagram followers and has been fearless about using her massive reach, campaigning for change on issues including body image (she called out Modeliste for publishing a visibly retouched photo of her; the magazine apologized) and beauty ideals: When Fashion Police’s Giuliana Rancic criticized Zendaya’s locs at the 2015 Oscars, the star posted that she’d chosen the look “to remind people of color that our hair is good enough.” She admits she’d initially felt like lashing back. “But then I was like, ‘You know what?

Growing up in a Phoenix suburb, Opal Tometi, the daughter of Nigerian immigrants, was alarmed when her youngest brother started preschool and began to raise questions about his hair and skin color—questions she knew were triggered by societal messages about race. And Alicia Garza worried about her brother’s safety every day—but never so much as after July 13, 2013, when George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida, was found not guilty in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. “My brother is six feet tall (continued on page 241)

Well, I’m gone.” And she was, off to one of the world’s largest law firms, the Chicago-based Baker & McKenzie, where she not only made partner at age 31 but was also elected the firm’s first female chair at 43. In 2007 French President Nicolas Sarkozy tapped Lagarde to become the nation’s first female finance minister, which in turn made her the first woman to be in charge of any G8 country’s economic portfolio.

Ashley THE BODY ACTIVIST

GRAHAM

—Robin Roberts, coanchor of ABC News’ Good Morning America and 2014 Woman of the Year By Alison Prato Photograph by Miguel Reveriego Stylist: Jeff K. Kim

hen I was 17 or 18 years old,” says model Ashley Graham, “I was doing a group shot for this really big campaign, and one girl, who was probably a size 2 or 4, said to me, ‘Did you actually get paid for this job?’ I remember thinking, She’s asking me that because I’m fat.” Graham, now 29, still runs into that model (whom, taking the high road, she refuses to name). “She’s always friendly and nice,” says Graham. “I think she forgot she said it. But it’s one of those things I’ll never forget.” A decade later Graham has proved not only that she can and should get paid but also that she can—and will—change the whole damn world. This February she became the first size-16 model ever to land the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue, bringing size acceptance into the mainstream with just one (fabulous) photo. To Graham, who didn’t truly believe she’d be on the cover until the issue was in her hands, this triumph “wasn’t just for curvy girls. It was for every woman. Most of us have not been told, ‘If you have cellulite and your thighs rub together, who cares?’ ” Graham didn’t always feel so confident. When she moved to New York City after high school to model full-time, she nearly gave up after a summer of being rejected. “I called my mom and she said, ‘You’re there for a reason. Your body is there to change the lives of people,’ ” says Graham. But first her mother reminded her she had to change her own attitude: “She said, ‘You are the one

222 glamour.com

who’s looking in the mirror every day. You have to speak to yourself.’ ” Graham created a new plan and eventually a vision board of everything she hoped to achieve (yes, that SI cover was on it). One key tool: social media. She saw emerging digital platforms as a way to directly connect with women, no “permission” from casting directors or model agents required. She began posting selfies, behind-the-scenes snaps at fashion shoots, and more, many hashtagged the same way: #beautybeyondsize. Women responded (“They were tired of seeing one form of beauty for so long,” she says), and her fan base quickly grew—today she has more than 2.6 million followers on Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter. She also started appearing in mainstream ads, for companies like Levi’s and Calvin Klein. Suddenly she had a platform, and she decided to use it to let women of all sizes know they are beautiful. Her audience fell in love with the gorgeous, gregarious woman with the boundless confidence (when society tells her she’s not up to par, says Graham, “I kind of just give my middle finger to it, like, ‘Guess what?

And her followers let her know how much it helps to have her as a champion. “Every day I get at least 20 messages,” she says. “A woman who was bulimic for six years said she stopped throwing up after she watched my TED Talk.” She kicked off that presentation (also once on her vision board) by looking into a full-length mirror onstage and having a friendly chat with her body parts: “Back (continued on page 240)

Nadia Murad The Woman Who Stood Up to ISIS

says. That, she believes, is the first step to ending the genocide. “By listening to their victims, I want them to feel what they’ve done.” These crimes are often overlooked, says journalist and human rights activist Kati Marton, but Murad is putting them into the spotlight. “Nadia, a brave and eloquent witness of ISIS barbarity, is the voice of a new movement; she’s making the U.S. and the International Criminal Court pay attention,” says Marton. Murad grew up in a quiet farming area called Kocho, nestled in the mountains of northern Iraq. “It was a beautiful village,” she says, “and the prettiest thing in it was my home and my family.” In August 2014, ISIS began attacking the area, and many Yazidis fled up Mount Sinjar to safety until United States air strikes allowed them to escape across the border to Kurdistan. Murad and the 600 people in her village weren’t so lucky. On August 15, ISIS fighters in white Toyota pickups flying the group’s signature black flags invaded the village and separated women from men. The women were taken to a school, where they watched from a window as the militants executed every man and teenage boy, including Nadia’s six brothers. Inside, she could do nothing but listen to the gunfire. Then the militants divided the women again, culling older from younger. Murad and her sisters were taken as sex slaves, while her mother was deemed too old and executed. Herded onto buses, the young women were raped on the drive to militant territory. In the following weeks some girls were chained to one another, auctioned off, and passed among 20 to 30 men. Many committed suicide. Murad tried to escape but was caught, beaten, gang-raped, and burned with cigarettes. Shuttled between compounds, she lost track of her sisters, of the days, of where she was. It was after three months in captivity, in Mosul, that she spied an unlocked door and fled. Once she was smuggled into Kurdistan, she ended up in Zakho, a refugee camp in the Kurdish region of Duhok. There Murad joined hundreds of other traumatized women and girls who had fled ISIS territory; miraculously, her own elder sister Dimal, 28, also managed to escape and reach the camp alive. Most of these women had nothing: no money, no food, no coats for the freezing winter ahead. Their fathers and brothers had been massacred; their mothers and sisters were either missing or still enslaved by ISIS. To this day there’s no going back to their homes; there’s nothing left but ash. Yet there was one thing the young girls at the refugee camp could do: Tell their stories. Yazda, a nongovernmental organization founded to support the Yazidi people, was collecting testimony from survivors to piece together what had happened to 5,000 of their people. Murad saw how speaking out could benefit others. “I want people to know this isn’t what happened only to Nadia,” she says. “This happened to thousands of girls. I want the world to know.” Recognizing the power of Murad’s voice, Yazda brought her to the United States to address the United Nations. She has now become a leader in the effort to bring ISIS to justice at the International Criminal Court for the crime of genocide in Syria and Iraq, and activists like Amal Clooney, who is serving as her attorney, have also joined her cause. “Nadia’s a remarkable human being with a beautiful heart and spirit,” Murad Ismael, executive director of Yazda, says. “It’s never about her; it’s about others. This is a way for her to live with that pain.”

In April Murad received devastating news: Her niece Kathrine, 19, who’d also been kidnapped, had escaped her captors—but stepped on an IED planted by ISIS and was killed. Murad traveled back to northern Iraq to mourn her niece and found the most astonishing thing: She was welcomed by the thousands of ISIS victims still at the refugee camps. “Everywhere she goes, she is surrounded by young girls,” Ismael says. “She is their hero.” And Murad promises to continue to speak out, whether in Iraq; or Stuttgart, Germany, where she now lives with Dimal and Murad, right, with Clooney, giving her powerful testimony at the U.N. in September

other survivors; or New York City, where she has begged the U.N. to get involved. “If beheadings, sexual enslavement, the rape of children, and the displacement of millions do not force you to act, when will you act?” she asked. Murad wishes she didn’t have to do this work. She doesn’t relish the limelight and yearns for the life and family she lost. “The happiest time of my life was being in my village with my mother,” she says, “not meeting world leaders.” Still, she has become a powerful voice—and ISIS has noticed. The group has issued death threats against her, some chillingly delivered by members of her family who remain in captivity. ISIS has made a practice of brainwashing small boys and turning them into fighters; Murad’s nephew, now 13, is one of them. This summer she was at home in Stuttgart when her phone rang. It was her nephew, calling via WhatsApp and ordering her to come back to ISIS-held territory. “We know what you’re doing; we’ve seen you on TV,” he said. Then the commander holding him took the phone. “No one has been able to stop us, and you won’t be able to either,” he threatened. Murad did not cower. “You and your companions will be brought to justice,” she told the man. Despite those threats, Murad isn’t stopping. She’s started a global initiative against genocide at nadiamurad.org. The first aim is to help the Yazidi women stranded in Iraq’s refugee camps as winter approaches once again. Then she hopes to fight genocide wherever it’s happening in the world. “I’m not afraid of them,” she says. “What more can they do to me? There’s no place in me for fear now.” Eliza Griswold, a Berggruen Fellow at Harvard Divinity School, was the winner of a PEN Prize for her translations of Afghan women’s poetry, I Am the Beggar of the World. glamour.com 237

Christine Lagarde Lifetime Achievement CONTINUED FROM PAGE 221

Another of her firsts? She was an early predictor of the global economic meltdown that began in 2008. That fall, she warned of what she called “a coming tsunami” if the United States allowed Lehman Brothers to fail. When the investment bank did collapse and the tidal wave crashed, she was among those who steered the world to safety, helping to convince major governments to pump trillions of dollars into their countries’ banks to stabilize world markets. By the time the recovery began, Lagarde was perhaps the only finance leader in history to be called a superhero, a rock star, and a style icon (before your next job interview, check out the 1,000-plus Pinterest posts devoted to her fashion choices). But it was Lagarde’s next job that positioned her to bring her lifelong concerns for women to a global stage: In 2011 she took the helm of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), becoming the first female managing director in its 70-year history. A powerful global institution created just after World War II, the IMF is funded (to the tune of $964 billion) by its 189 member nations to keep the global economy stable and growing. Acting as the world’s financial doctor, the agency assesses its members’ fiscal well-being and provides both policy and financial support, lending money to desperate nations when other institutions won’t and working with them to make much-needed reforms. And Lagarde has made her mark. “She is one of those rare leaders who combine vision with action,” says fellow financial bigwig Janet Yellen, chair of the Board of Governors at the U.S. Federal Reserve System. “She approaches age-old problems in fresh, innovative ways to strengthen the ties that bind the global economy.” Under Lagarde, the IMF has integrated China’s currency into the global system and helped stabilize the economies of Portugal, Ireland, and Greece—all the while explicitly beginning to address gender inequality. To Lagarde, encouraging member countries to do better by women simply makes sense. “It’s not just a fundamentally moral cause; it is an absolute economic no-brainer,” she believes. “If governments were to address closing the gender

gap, if they were to remove the discriminations against women, give them access to the labor market and to finance, a big chunk of the inequalities that we have in many countries would actually disappear. Not all of it, but a lot of it.” And yes, having women in leadership roles helps too. Lagarde observes that women do less “posturing” than their male counterparts: “You know, the sort of hairy-chested man: ‘Here I am—it’s about me, me, me.’ ” Lagarde measures her own success in a very personal way. “I am often referred to as a rock star, but I don’t think that is really meaningful,” she says. “What I am always very touched by is when young women, and sometimes young girls, turn to me and say they see me as a role model. If I can help them achieve what they want to achieve, then that’s meaningful. That’s brilliant.”

Her Words to Live By: “My synchronized swimming coach used to say, ‘Grit your teeth and smile. Even if the judges aren’t being fair, even if you deserve better, just get on with it and be stronger.’ ” Amanda Robb has written for The New York Times and GQ.

How to Own Your Power

Even Women of the Year have to learn their confidence lessons. Here are Christine Lagarde’s. Get over your “ﬂaws.”

Find your physical power.

“If you are a little bit overweight, that’s fine. If you have gray hair, so be it. If you have big feet, so be it—I’m a size 11. It’s about being reconciled with yourself and projecting yourself—to friends, at work—as you are.”

“I do feel insecure—quite often, actually, like all of us. But I have been lucky enough to be able to rely on physical strength, which I think matters a lot. I practiced yoga at a very early age, and I would say that breathing is critically important, as is relying on the physical strength that was given to you.”

Develop conﬁdence hacks. “My grandfather used to say, ‘Even the king goes to the loo.’ When you walk into a boardroom, when you take the floor and speak, you can imagine [the audience] in all kinds of situations. We are all human beings!”

Just be human. “As a young girl I was a bossyboots. I am not ashamed of that. I am, equally, extremely emotional sometimes. I can cry when I watch something that’s moving, and [that] is nothing to be ashamed of either. To repress one side of yourself, I think, is a mistake.”

that. I’m going to write something that’s actually powerful.’ ” Today Zendaya has emerged as a key voice of a generation pushing for change. “[Acting] has been my passion,” she says. “But as I’ve started to understand the power and influence I have, I’ve realized it’s really this avenue for me to do bigger, more meaningful things. For me to help somebody.” Helping others, it seems, is in her DNA. At age eight, she asked friends to donate money to an animal shelter in lieu of giving her a birthday gift. At 18, she mobilized her fan base to benefit Convoy of Hope’s feedONE initiative. At 19, she did the same for UNAIDS (the United Nations program that combats HIV/ AIDS) and raised $50,000—a lot of money considering it came mostly from her fans’ allowances. “She is showing that young people are actors of change: supporting young girls, refusing to accept violence against women,” says Michel Sidibé, executive director of UNAIDS. “Zendaya is a role model for that new activism.” Her platform will grow larger next year as she leaps into movies, with starring roles in Spider Man: Homecoming and The

Greatest Showman, alongside Hugh Jackman. (Also slated: a fashion line, Daya by Zendaya; a second album; and Zendaya: The App, for fans to shop and connect with the star.) But if Zendaya is striving for a better future, she’d also like to see a better now. In September she took to Snapchat to suggest that racism had led a California supermarket clerk to treat her and a friend badly. The incident made waves, as she’d planned. “It’s a discussion,” she says. “It’s like, ‘Yo, I can’t believe this happened to me. Does this happen to you guys? We should do something about it.’ ” Her fans follow that lead. “I get picked on because I’m black! And because of you I stand up for myself,” a fan tweeted her in August. That’s the reaction Zendaya strives for. “You have to learn to appreciate yourself and the power you hold,” she says. “Whatever is inside of you—your soul, your power—find it. See it. Respect it. Protect it. And use it.” Alex Morris is a contributing editor at New York magazine.

Miuccia Prada The Fashion Force CONTINUED FROM PAGE 208

bedazzlement, and her refusal to make everything sweet and safe (spring 2017 features both seductive feathers and purposefully unpretty 1970s-inspired prints). “Miuccia explores ugliness,” explains costume designer Catherine Martin, who collaborated with Prada on The Great Gatsby. “The ability to question conventional expectations and to clash them with the most traditional female foibles, like pink and glitter, is illustrative of [her] great humor, intelligence, and human understanding.” Make no mistake: Prada’s clothes work on a superficial level too—the woman knows her way around the red carpet (see below)—but they always have a deeper meaning. “Years before anyone was talking about female empowerment through fashion, Miuccia was assiduously designing clothes that spoke to our need for beautiful things to wear, while simultaneously celebrating and confounding what it means to be a woman in today’s world,” says longtime friend Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue. “She makes the political personal for all of us, every single time we wear Prada.” Simple prettiness, agrees New York Times fashion The Thinking-Woman’s Red Carpet Uma Thurman (1995), Carey Mulligan (2012), Lena Dunham (2013), Lupita Nyong’o (2014), and Sarah Paulson (2016), all in Prada

critic Vanessa Friedman, is not the point. “What always strikes me about Miuccia Prada’s work,” she says, “is that every season she is effectively thinking out loud on the runway about women, their lives, their changing geopolitical status, their responsibilities and values. But instead of doing it in words, she’s doing it in clothes.” For Prada, the joy is still in the process. “People ask me, ‘How do you feel being famous?’” she says. “I say, ‘I don’t feel that.’ It’s not that I’m not happy that I am successful—actually, I am. But I never enjoy the pleasure of success.” She feels happiest, she says, “when I can just work.” (Love, she adds, is “super-fundamental” too: “You have to be lucky to have it.”) But Prada is heated on the subject of how finding meaningful work is crucial. “I see so many young people, they don’t have any excitement,” she says. “It’s so much easier if you do! And that is what I wish to everybody.” And especially for women, work is independence, she believes. “If you are independent, you…are free,” says the free-thinking designer. “If you have to ask something [of] somebody else? No way—that is out of discussion. You have to earn your own life if you want to be free. It is the only thing to do.” Cindi Leive is the editorin-chief of Glamour. glamour.com 239

Simone Biles The Record Breaker CONTINUED FROM PAGE 210

anything for granted and to always be the best Simone—the best version of myself,” says Biles. “From a very young age, they always believed in us and told us to believe in ourselves.” Nellie Biles enrolled her daughter in gymnastics lessons when Simone was six, partly, she jokes, to give her a place to do jumps and f lips other than on their furniture. Her raw talent (“I would just throw my body in the air,” Biles’ medalBiles remembers) immediately caught winning floor routine in Rio the eye of a coach who sent a note home asking if she could join the team. Biles did—and quickly shot up through the ranks. But it wasn’t all stratospheric rise. After she earned a spot on the senior national team in 2013, her signature confidence began to crumble. At one competition that summer, she made so many mistakes during her first few routines—and was so devastated— that she didn’t even try to do her vault. At the urging of her parents, Biles sought the help of a sports psychologist. “She was competing against these girls who were her heroes, her idols,” her

mom explains. “And it was hard for her to adjust to that. Simone didn’t think she was good enough to compete with them. I knew she was quite capable. But she needed to believe it.” Therapy taught her to trust her talent and enjoy the experience. And once that mind-set kicked in, Biles began winning everything in sight, including 10 world championship gold medals and the only guaranteed spot on the 2016 Olympic team. Since Rio, Biles has been hard at work at another project: writing her memoir, Courage to Soar, out this month. In it, she gives the inside story of how she went from foster child to Olympic champion, and what drove her to keep working toward her ultimate goal. “It’s about my life, and me telling it,” she says. Biles hasn’t decided if she’ll compete in the Tokyo Games in 2020; right now she’s too busy savoring her 2016 victories. “When you stand up there on the podium, and the national anthem is playing, it’s surreal,” she says. “And then you realize all your hard work has paid off.”

fat, I see you popping over my bra today. But that’s all right. I’m gonna choose to love you.” She’s impossible to resist. “Supermodels were once defined by drama,” says Eva Chen, head of fashion partnerships at Instagram. “Ashley is the epitome of a modern supermodel—stunning, certainly, but also self-aware, cognizant of the world around her, and engaged in a constant conversation with her millions of fans.” Graham plans to keep pushing for change on behalf of all the women who believe in size diversity and expect the fashion business to get on board. She’s campaigning for “curvy girls”—her term of choice—to be included in more major runway shows; 16 plus-size models walked the shows at New York Fashion Week this fall, a record, and she’d like to see that number climb (she personally has her sights set on Givenchy and Dolce & Gabbana). Graham has also created multiple clothing lines (for lingerie and swimsuits, and a dress collection, sizes 4 to 24, for Dress Barn). 240 glamour.com

“I’m really trying to make a change in the industry,” she says. “I’m trying to have more quality clothing for curvy women. A lot of it [isn’t available] in my size.” Next up, Graham will debut as a judge on America’s Top Model. And now both she and her husband, cinematographer Justin Ervin, keep vision boards beside their bed. On hers: a beauty campaign, a book, and maybe a talk show. But her deepest wish is for girls. “I hope they look in the mirror and say, ‘I am beautiful,’ ” she says. “When you do that, it’s a whole other ball game—you start to understand that your words have power.”

Her Words to Live By: “Be your own woman. Be your own kind of role model. And remember that the women around you are women you can lift up. You can change their lives.” Alison Prato has written for New York and Condé Nast Traveler.

But as they mourned, they turned their sorrow and outrage into action, creating a powerful civil rights movement that, in just three years, has transformed the way Americans think and talk about race. Garza and Cullors had met at a conference for activists nearly a decade earlier. (“We just fell in love instantly,” recalls Garza. “We call each other ‘Twin.’ ”) The night of the verdict, they texted, sharing their grief. “When I woke up in the morning,” says Garza, 35, who is the special projects director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance in Oakland, California, “I wrote a love letter to black people.” Her now-famous Facebook posts are a lament, an exhortation, and a praise song. “I continue to be surprised at how little black lives matter,” she wrote. She ended with, “Black people. I love you. I love us. Our lives matter.” Cullors, 33, a Los Angeles–based organizer and artist, shared the posts on Facebook, spontaneously finishing her own post with #BlackLivesMatter. Tometi, 32, the executive director of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration in New York City, saw the hashtag and reached out to Garza, whom she knew from the activist community, and volunteered to build a digital platform. “I felt a sense of urgency about the next steps we could take together to change the story,” Tometi says. Adds Garza: “We wanted to connect people who were already buzzing about all this stuff and get them to do something, not just retweet or like or share. We thought, How do we get folks together and take that energy and create something awesome?” With that, #BlackLivesMatter—a rallying cry for a new generation—was born. Given the facts of American history, it was all too predictable that Martin’s would not be the last widely reported killing of an unarmed black person. And when a new case hit the headlines—the August 2014 death of Michael Brown, 18, in Ferguson, Missouri, at the hands of a white police officer—Black Lives Matter roared into action to create a “freedom ride,” so protesters from around the country could get to Ferguson. The three women also made a key decision: To keep their group decentralized. Today the Black Lives Matter Global Network is a coalition of 42 autonomous chapters, each doing its own work. The Chicago chapter, for example, helped oust the police superintendent after video footage of an officer shooting a black teenager was withheld for more than a year. In addition to protesting racism and unlawful killings, Black Lives Matter groups have taken on inequality, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. “We gave tongue to something that we all knew was happening,” Tometi says. “We were courageous enough to call it what it was. But more than that, to offer an alternative. An aspirational message: Black lives matter.” Those local efforts have seeped into the national consciousness: Lady Gaga, Kerry Washington, and Jesse Williams all voiced support for the movement; in an essay for Wired, tennis great Serena Williams wrote, “To those of you involved in equality movements like Black Lives Matter, I say this: Keep it up.” In February, Beyoncé brought Black Lives Matter’s issues into the nation’s living rooms with her Super Bowl halftime performance.

And in July, at the ESPY Awards, basketball stars LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Paul together movingly called for an end to racial violence. There have been critics, of course, who have responded with #AllLivesMatter and #BlueLivesMatter hashtags. But powerful voices have helped explain the issue: “When people say ‘Black Lives Matter,’ that doesn’t mean blue lives don’t matter. It just means all lives matter,” President Obama said last summer. “But right now the big concern is the fact that the data shows black folks are more vulnerable to these kinds of incidents.… To be concerned about these issues is not political correctness. It’s just being an American, and wanting to live up to our best and highest ideals.” The CEO of AT&T lent support; so did Ben & Jerry’s with a letter to customers: “All lives do matter. But all lives will not matter until Black lives matter.… We’ll be working hard on that, and ask you to as well.” Garza, Cullors, and Tometi are earning their place in history—notable, since too many black women have been little more than a footnote in civil rights textbooks. “They’ve brought the necessary ‘street heat’ to drive change and hold elected officials accountable,” says Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D–Calif.). “This movement, largely driven by young people, is really the civil and human rights struggle of our time.” And while creating a movement is never easy—they’ve sacrificed family outings and weddings and relationships—all three

say they find strength in one another. “From my youngest brother to immigrant women to black queer folks, those are the people who keep me going,” says Tometi. “When I think about their various acts of courage, it reminds me that I am not alone and that we can do even more and we deserve more, so we have to keep going.… We have built a sisterhood, a community. Friends and people who’d look out for you, who have your back, who inspire you but also challenge you. And you can rise together.” Collier Meyerson is a justice reporter at Fusion. glamour.com 241
