«women of the year», une grande partie de l'histoire

 

tout le monde connait «the person of the year» du magazine Time. on attend ça chaque année. mais j'ai découvert une section cachée, une sorte de monde parallèle... 

«In 1999, Man of the Year gave way to Person of the Year. While the name rightly changed, too often the choice was the same. With this 100 Women of the Year project, we’re spotlighting influential women who were often overshadowed. This includes women who occupied positions from which the men were often chosen, like world leaders Golda Meir and Corazon Aquino, but far more who found their influence through activism or culture. As former TIME editor-in-chief Nancy Gibbs writes, this project is an exercise in looking at the ways in which women held power due to systemic inequality. “Women,” Gibbs writes, “were wielding soft power long before the concept was defined.”»

 

j'ai parcouru ce week-end le site 100 Women of the Year. le texte d'introduction est éclairant. celui de Nancy Gibbs aussi. à voir absolument pour réaliser à quel point on est passé à côté de l'histoire, d'une grande partie de l'histoire. chaque couverture présente une femme qui a changé les choses cette année-là. lire le making of ici. une autre aspect intéressant, plusieurs artistes ont travaillé aux portraits et couvertures de cette série. découvrez, partagez!
