Vanity Fair's Women on Women

Vanity Fair's Women on Women

Looking back at the last thirty-five years of Vanity Fair stories on women, by women, with an introduction by the magazineâ€™s editor in chief, Radhika Jones

Gail Sheehy on Hillary Clinton. Ingrid Sischy on Nicole Kidman. Jacqueline Woodson on Lena Waithe. Leslie Bennetts on Michelle Obama. And two Maureens (Orth and Dowd) on two Tinas (Turner and Fey). Vanity Fairâ€™s Women on Women features a selection of the best profiles, essays, and columns on female subjects written by female contributors to the magazine over the past thirty-five years.Â

From the viewpoint of the female gaze come penetrating profiles on everyone from Gloria Steinem to Princess Diana to Whoopi Goldberg to essays on workplace sexual harassment (by Bethany McLean) to a postâ€“#MeToo reassessment of the Clinton scandal (by Monica Lewinsky). Many of these pieces constitute the first draft of a larger cultural narrative. They tell a singular story about female icons and identity over the last four decadesâ€”and about the magazine as it has evolved under the editorial direction of Tina Brown, Graydon Carter, and now Radhika Jones, who has written a compelling introduction.Â

When Vanity Fairâ€™s inaugural editor, Frank Crowninshield, took the helm of the magazine in 1914, his mission statement declared, â€œWe hereby announce ourselves as determined and bigoted feminists.â€ Under Jonesâ€™s leadership,Â Vanity FairÂ continues the publicationâ€™s proud tradition of highlighting womenâ€™s voicesâ€”and all the many ways they define our culture.
