In late spring, we started work on a feature that had a simple premise—to get a true, immersive snapshot of what it’s like to be a young woman in America right now. We reached out to student photographers at 22 colleges across the country—from Abilene Christian University to New York University—and asked them to take
Many women who get their period can identify with the creeping suspicion on a particularly heavy-flow day that they’ve bled through their clothes. For some, like yogi Stephanie Góngora, who have very heavy periods, the issue is all too real. So Steph bravely took to Instagram to work through her own period anxiety and, along
While a giant baby Donald Trump blimp flew across the London skies to protest his visit, (yes, that happened), Queen Elizabeth II capped off a busy week of royal activities by hosting the U.S. President and First Lady Melania Trump for Friday tea at Windsor Castle. And just in case you’re wondering, this is the
When it comes to the sharing of R-rated photos, men and women are held to drastically different standards. In fact, the same men who slut-shame women for dressing in revealing outfits often strip down themselves. Lindsey, the woman behind the Twitter account @CardsAgstHrsmt, has made it her mission to call out these “#ShirtlessShamers.” And she’s
A teenager made history this weekend when she became the first competitor in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant to wear a burkini—garb that covered her from head to wrist to ankle—during the swimsuit round. 19-year-old Halima Aden sadly didn’t make it to the final five after baring her brave bathing suit Saturday night, but the
When Robin Wright and Emmy Rossum got outraged at earning less than their male costars did on House of Cards and Shameless, it was a reminder that the gender pay gap is alive and well, and still sneakily cheating women. And we should all be outraged. It’s illegal for an employer to pay a woman
There’s bad judgment, then there’s judgment that goes so far beyond bad that you can’t even wrap your brain around how and why. Such is the case with a delivery truck for a restaurant in North England that features a caricature of a skeletal Victoria Beckham, pizza in hand, wearing a “Anorexic Fashion Icon” pageant
For nearly 60 years, Barbie has been telling girls they can be anything they want to be, thanks to the 200-plus careers held by the most famous doll in the world. Now Mattel is going a step further by not just releasing a new career for the doll, but actually helping young girls take the
President of the United States of America is arguably be the worst job in the world. After all, there’s a reason people joke—with a little too much truth in their voices—that you’d have to be crazy to want the role. But in an essay on Glassdoor, Hillary Clinton reveals she’s used to tough jobs, beginning
Gigi Hadid seems like she’s got it all together—she’s Gigi effing Hadid—but while accepting her award at Glamour‘s Women of the Year ceremony on Monday night, the supermodel shared that she doesn’t always feel like “Gigi Hadid, global supermodel.” “I think my biggest responsibility, standing here, is to all the young women who are watching,”
This week’s buzziest book is, hands down Born Trump: Inside America’s Family, which shines a klieg light on POTUS’s three marriages and five kids—well, four actually; Barron’s only mentioned in passing. Otherwise, Vanity Fair senior reporter Emily Jane Fox pulls no punches in this dishy tell-all. Here are 14 things we learned. 1. Ivana Trump
Even before Emmanuel Macron was elected president of France, his relationship with wife Brigitte Macron has been the object of close scrutiny and an exhausting amount of ageism due to the fact that Brigitte is 24 years older than her husband. Although Emmanuel spoke out earlier this year about the double standard that makes his
Raise your hand if you been to Medieval Times. You know, the chain of nine restaurants—or castles—where a cast of actors puts on next-level dinner theater during your multicourse meal, reenacting a jousting tournament complete with knights and horses and royalty. It’s extremely extra and very fun. Now, in a more modern twist, The New
