xiv, 433 pages ; 22 cm, This volume collects 30 of the best profiles, essays, and columns on female subjects written by female contributors to the magazine over the past 35 years, Vanity Fair'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. 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 post-#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 decades-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. When Vanity Fair's inaugural editor, Frank Crowninshield, took the helm of the magazine in 1914, his mission statement declared, \"We hereby announce ourselves as determined and bigoted feminists.\" Under Jones's leadership, Vanity Fair continues the publication's proud tradition of highlighting women's voices-and all the many ways they define our culture, The comedians.
