ere at Glamour we like to cheer women on. Female CEOs, female athletes, female firefighters; women who stick their neck out for things they care about—we're for them. It's in our job description! And when institutions don't recognize the value of women, we cry foul. Sorry, Congress, but four men to every woman? Super outdated. Fortune 500 list, 19 male CEOs to every lady? NOT OK. So it was with some concern that earlier this fall I read the following statistics: Only 37 percent of the photographers we were using in our own print pages were female, and 32 percent of the hairstylists. (Forty-nine percent of makeup artists were female, but dismayingly the ratio got lower as the story got bigger.) Which of these past Glamour images was taken by a woman? All of them—as was every picture commissioned for While we employed female writthis issue. Clockwise from top left: Rihanna by Ellen von Unwerth, 2011; fashion by Pamela Hanson, 2007; fashion by Diane and Allan Arbus, 1943; Simone Biles by Nyra Lang, 2016; Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg by Lynsey Addario, ers almost exclusively, the visual 2012; Grace Kelly by Frances McLaughlin-Gill, 1955. content of the magazine—the stuff you look at—was more likely it's part of the larger historical tendency to label men's creative to be made by men. To be fair, we are not alone here: A review of endeavors—from novels to paintings to fashion photographs—as comparable magazines indicates that in fact we are pretty aver"artistic" or "important," while women's are considered "everyage. But it's 2017. Gender equality is on all our minds, and gender equality doesn't just happen at the CEO or president-of-America day" or "relatable." (Which is bad why, exactly? But I digress.) level.

Friends of Glamour
Which Woman Powers Your Success? The contributors to this Powered by Women Issue cite their own secret forces.
"I admire women who shine in maledominated fields and then pull up other women with them. My personal heroes are Hillary Clinton, Ellen DeGeneres, Amy Poehler, and the woman currently developing a TV project with me— Wanda Sykes!"
"My mother is a driving force in my success. Her encouragement and support sustain me and keep me sane." —Shanita Sims, who shot the athleisure looks in "Changing the Game," page 110
"Every mom who's supported my efforts to spotlight the genocide of Syrian children gets me through the toughest days." —S.E. Cupp, near right, who co-moderates the political roundtable on page 77 with Krystal Ball, far right

What Advice Would You Give Your Middle-School Self?
The heavyweights at our 26th annual Women of the Year Awards share their wisdom.
Hot Takes on Our Winners… @gwenstefani captured my heart 26+ years ago—she was nvr "just a girl." Congrats lady! —@earlywinters, via Twitter Kudos for honoring the Stanford sexual assault survivor as a Woman of the Year. What happened to her should not define her. I hope her eloquent words now will. —Nancy Maleki, Canton, Mich. So proud! Thank you @glamourmag for recognizing these beautiful and brave black pioneers! #BlackLives Matter! #ForTheLoveOfBlackGirls! —@UniquelyUSummit, via Twitter
"Take your time and enjoy every single moment as it comes." —honoree Zendaya
"Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something." —honoree Simone Biles
"I had no idea what was coming, so maybe: Be grateful for the whole journey. Even for the tragic parts. Because I think without that you don't grow." —honoree Gwen Stefani
"Stop apologizing. I used to apologize for everything. Even if you made a mistake—own it, move on, it's OK." —summit panelist Jenna Lyons, right, with Instagram's Eva Chen
I risk my life every day as a police officer. I do not ask for praise—I love my job. But I am out on Black Lives Matter protests all the time. It's all derived by hate, yet you glorify the women of Black Lives Matter. I'm very disappointed. —Tara, Philadelphia Many of you took issue with our naming Bono our first Man of the Year. Tweeted @marcus_bernard: "Out of all the women alive, #Bono is my favorite. It's just so inspiring how she overcame the adversity of being a millionaire white dude." (The U2 front man read a few "mean tweets" during his acceptance speech; watch it at facebook.com/glamour/videos.) Many other readers applauded him, like @GiuliaRubino8: "Because men have an important part in the fight for gender equality. Because you made our fight yours too. Thank you." As Amy Poehler said, "People like Bono give me faith in men." Missed any of these stories? Download the December issue from your device's app store.

Katy's Got Sole COURTESY OF K ATY PERRY FOOTWEAR
Katy Perry tells us about her bold new shoe line and her no-B.S. approach to life. By Noah Silverstein
If the circumstance ever presented itself, anyone could pick Katy Perry out of a lineup. She of the over-the-top rainbow wardrobe is iconic for being uniquely loud and vibrant—even if it used to cost her a spot on some best-dressed lists. "For a long time I've been a bit of a parody of fashion," says Perry, adding proudly, "but I've never been in a clique." Now the industry is coming around to her point of view: "There's not a

My first heel, in sixth grade, was a shiny blue patent Chinese Laundry with a buckle in the front. It looked kind of like a Pilgrim-type shoe, with, like, a chunky heel. I can remember what the box smelled like—it's all coming back to me! I got them for Christmas along with a fake-leopard jacket that I wore. I think I
"There's not a whole lot of blending in anymore. I'm glad that fashion is getting a bit more lighthearted." GLAMOUR: Why start with shoes instead of clothes? K AT Y PER RY: It's been a longtime dream of mine. I wanted to take it seriously and didn't just want to slap my name on something—I really wanted to get it right. We'll go to the next thing when the shoes themselves are embraced, not just because Katy Perry, the musical artist, does shoes but because they stand on their own. GLAMOUR: How do you begin the process of creating a collection like this? It's so refreshing, BTW, that you don't have to earn a pop star's salary to buy them. KP: I wanted the collection to be more of a feminine, fun personality, like Charlotte Olympia and Sophia Webster, but at a lower price point so it could be easily accessible. Now I understand why shoes are extremely expensive to make—from conceptualizing original heels, to having a small detail or a fabric, or the way it's carved. So we had to figure that out first. G L AMOUR: The collection is divided into themes. Where did that idea come from? K P: Every f-cking day has a holiday to it, like National Kitten Day or National Doughnut Day. So why can't my shoes have a theme? There's a star and moon group called SOLEstial. Havana Good Time came from a trip I took to Cuba with all my girlfriends and has two styles with a cigar heel. And we have Pump Up the Jam, which is a bit nineties-based. GLAMOUR: Which shoe is your favorite? KP: There's one that's white with different-

wasn't allowed to wear them to my private Christian school. GLAMOUR: Who is your dream customer? K P: Any girl who wants to have a little exclamation mark at her feet. You can make it a whole look, or you can just accessorize [a basic outfit] with that personality piece. That's what's so great about shoes, you know? And I think that people who like my music will like the collection.…You can always be playful and have that childlike enthusiasm. That's what keeps you really young. Also, Björk, Rihanna, and Chloë Sevigny kind of make up how I like to dress: We all like architectural things, we all like vintage things, and we all kind of like punk and "loud." GLAMOUR: These shoes do seem to reflect your point of view. What does authenticity mean to you? KP: I've always tried to be as transparent as I can with my audience so that we can all kind of be in this together. Some of the things that I did when I first started I wouldn't do now because I've grown, I've learned. In the beginning [people tried] to put me in a box, but over time my story is really telling itself, and I'm proud of that. I come from this extremely sheltered [place]. I so love my parents, but I had to do a lot of work to change my viewpoints and to be open and to rewrite my story. You know, I've done the work…so I try and not bullshit myself. And I think my authenticity is seeping through everything.

whole lot of blending in anymore," she says. "I'm glad that fashion is getting a little bit more lighthearted." She's happy to help in that department with her new line, Katy Perry Footwear, a collection of 40 shoe styles ranging from platform heels to sneakers and shower slides. (And they won't break the bank; prices range from $59 to $299.) Perry is calling the creative shots on the endeavor—so we caught up with the megastar to find out how she likes being the boss.

Three Writers. Three Sizes. Three Perfect Pairs of Jeans.
The Long Game The winning pair for Chan, 26, comes in long and short. Not sure which height you need? The hem should hit your ankle bone without bunching.
hen I asked you, Glamour readers, what you'd like to see next in the Style Your Size column, I kept hearing one thing: how to find a pair of jeans that fit properly. No more gapping, sagging, or chafing. No more guessing if a store has your size. And definitely no more tearful fitting-room trips. (Speaking from experience on that last one.) As someone who tends to avoid jeans for all those reasons, I felt your pain. So I challenged myself and two other women to find the best pairs for our different bodies. Charli Howard, a size-6 model; Kellie Brown, a size-24 blogger at andigetdressed.com; and I, a size 14, each took on the mission.

"I'm an in-between: not quite standard, not quite plus." —Lauren Chan Thanks to my wide but f lat derriere, I need denim that fits around my waist but doesn't appear baggy in the rear. A 12 (or waist 31) from a standard-size range is often too small in the former, but a 14 (32) from a plus-size line is too big in the latter. Finding a combination that's right for me often feels impossible—so my strategy for this challenge was to shop only at destinations that offer all sizes. I started at Macy's, since the department store has standard and plus floors. After 23 pairs, one fit perfectly—Lauren Ralph Lauren's Plus-Size Straight Leg, which was snug but comfy. Next stop:
Levi's. While their straight-leg 500 series tops out at a 14, the 700s go up to an 18, and online the plus-size collection goes up to a 24. Those were all too big in the crotch and hip, but the 714s—a wide-waist-friendly midrise—fit well. I also went online to shop style.com, which let me search the entire Web for multiple sizes at once. That's where I found my hero pair: American Eagle High-Rise Jeggings in a 14 long. They run from 00 to 20, which makes them ideal for women who wear in-between sizes (12, 14, 16) since the cut doesn't become disproportionately wider in the hip above a 12. Another takeaway: Stretchy fabric usually means jeans will fit over the waist and stay tight in the back. Flat-bummed ladies, you'll love these too!
Take notes! This is how to find your best denim ever. By Lauren Chan
Fashion / Style Your Size
But for me, it's not! As a pear-shaped size-6 person, I'm often left with a gap around the waistband of jeans. So I find myself leaving stores with denim that isn't quite right. My usual fixes: wearing a belt, having a tailor take in the waist, or—lazy-girl confession—just living with it. On this mission I tried on 34 pairs of jeans to find the perfect fit. These are some tricks I learned while shopping: • High-waisted jeans create a nice hourglass figure, while low-cut styles often result in a stomach roll. I suggest trying on men's jeans, since they are usually cut with a high, narrow waist; Acne's Town Blk Crease (acnestudios.com) became a new favorite. • Second thing: After recently going from a size 2 to a 6, I've moved away from super-skinny jeans because I'm not as comfortable in them (they feel too tight). Feel the same? Reach for straight and boyfriend styles from brands like Madewell and Gap. • I also tried on sizes above and below my usual. At vintage shop Buffalo Exchange, it took me four pairs to find one that fit. Little mind trick: I tried them on from big to small to Clean Slate avoid any fitting-room despair. Model Howard, 25, When all else failed, I looked for stores with personalwashes her jeans shopping services, like Topshop. On this trip my shopper every two wears to pulled a bunch of styles in 4s and 6s. The best pair: the make sure the waist Straight jean, which has a high, tapered waist to pull in doesn't gap and the thighs don't stretch. my stomach and upper hip. Winner! Topshop Moto Spiral Hem jeans ($80, waist sizes 25–32, us.topshop.com)
"So many denim options don't come in plus sizes." —Kellie Brown Being a size 24 makes shopping for stylish clothes hard. Brands tend to think women like me aren't looking for on-trend pieces. And when it comes to jeans, we're relegated to the boot cut (cringe!) and the skinny. Most stylish plus-size clothes are available online only, so my solution was to order multiple pairs and try them on until I found one that works. I tried Melissa McCarthy denim in Pencil, Girlfriend, and Skinny styles, but they were all too short for my 5'10" frame. And though Lane Bryant is a go-to for tops, its jeans were too baggy for my personal taste. NYDJ's jeans were too small in the waist. (It's a common problem, since a lot of jeans in big sizes are cut for hourglass figures—as if we come in one shape—but I carry more weight in my tummy.) Old Navy's Raw-Edge Cropped Flared style was my runner-up because the rise was deep enough to accommodate my midsection. But my eventual (after 13 tries) winner was this ASOS style, because the rise accommodates my shape perfectly. Plus, I love to pair the casual boyfriend style with dressier pieces. One last piece of advice: When you see a pair you love, snap it up. Some styles I liked—such as a fringed pair from Eloquii—sold out fast. It's a sad reality when you're plus-size, but trendy, well-fitting pieces do not abound. Retailers, take note. 40 glamour.com

Fashion / Ask an Expert OFFICE HOURS Lyons wears a work-toweekend look in her J.Crew office.
Hey, Jenna!
Guest editor Jenna Lyons, the president and creative director of J.Crew, is back to answer your style q's. Consider spring solved! If I can buy only a few key pieces this season, what do you recommend I get? —Kyle Suba, 25, Detroit
I have three suggestions! First: big earrings. They're a beautiful look, especially paired with a cold-shoulder top. Next: A wearable and walkable shoe feels cool again, coming off a wave of very high heels. A lot of designers are providing an in-between height (see right), and a lower heel has a bit of a granny vibe, but a sexy one. There's a whole world between a f lat and a four-inch stiletto. And finally: a pajama-style jumpsuit. It works with both sneakers and heels, and doesn't look as if you're actually wearing your pajamas. Which brings me to…
How can I incorporate a pajama top into my everyday look? —Meghan Taylor Lafferty, 26, Kennett Square, Pa.
This is one of the most common questions I get these days. If you are wearing a cotton one, it looks nicer—as in, like you haven't just rolled out of bed— when it's pressed. Pressing also

makes the piping, one of my favorite details, pop more. Next, I pick a size smaller than I would sleep in. (A super-oversize shirt can lose some femininity and softness and looks a little sloppy, particularly in cotton.) If you're pairing a cotton pajama top with jeans, keep it crisp and go with a kitten heel or a bright white tennis shoe. You can wear a silk one for evening with tuxedo pants or dark denim and a heel. Sparkles welcome.
ONE-PIECE WONDER The pajama trend has evolved into jumpsuits! Keep yours chic with black heels and minimal jewelry. J.Crew Collection Tipped Wool Flannel Jumpsuit ($350, jcrew.com)
How do I dress down my work clothes to get extra use out of them? —Laura Ferraro, 23, Charlotte, N.C.
I know people are apprehensive of wearing dressier shirts on the weekends, but I love a simple silk blouse paired with jeans or chinos—especially in a bigger size and with the sleeves rolled up. You can still wear it with a pencil skirt or dress trousers to work, but on a Saturday it can look sort of sexy and slouchy with denim and tennis shoes. It's almost like when you wear your boyfriend's shirts that he's cast aside. I think there's something really sweet about that.

You used to be told to avoid fringe on curly hair. Not necessary! Here's how to nail it. By Simone Kitchens

cut.) I began to suspect that bangs were not for me, that the loose, Birkin-y fringe I wanted was just not for people with curly hair. These days the beauty culture has shifted. Models like Mica Arganaraz and Alanna Arrington, above, are showing off their natural, air-dried texture in modern
cuts with curly, longish bangs that you can play up or push to the side. It's what I have now too, in my second (more successful) attempt at curly bangs some 20 years later. A couple things: Get your best haircut, and work your texture, be it fine or superthick. Let's dive into both.

Beauty / Try the Trends More Curly Bangs Out in the Wild
Start With the
Six current takes to choose from:
Get your hair cut dry: This may be the most important tip of all. Arrington knows: "I made the mistake of letting someone cut my hair wet first, and I ended up with micro bangs, my worst fear." Plus, a curly-hair pattern can be very uneven. "It can be straighter underneath, tighter around the crown, or vice versa," says hairstylist Kayla MiChele, who styled Arrington's look on the previous page. Go long at first: The right bang length varies from person to person, but start a bit longer— to about the tip of your nose when hair is pulled down straight—since it's going to shrink up. "This will give you a sexier bang, like Alanna's," says MiChele. From there, see how you're feeling with the length and then subtly go a little shorter. If you want a fuller effect, MiChele recommends creating a triangle-shaped part from the hairline. "Then razor-cut the ends, which creates a fluffier texture that stays tousled throughout the day." Longer, parted bangs look great with longer cuts, while voluminous fringe is superfun on shorter, rounded, or triangular styles, but again, easing in is the best way to find your ideal bang shape.

Figure out how often to wash your hair:
Get volume and soft, airy texture: To help
Arrington's tip for those with some texture? "Don't wash your hair every day, girl!" The Iowa-raised model washes hers just once a week and conditions every other day with DevaCurl No-Poo Zero Lather Conditioning Cleanser ($22, devacurl.com). Or try the hydrating Pantene option at left. But all curls are different. Experiment with different shampoos and conditioners, and how often to use them. Generally, richer formulas are for drier hair.
bangs grow big, either air-dry or f lip damp hair upside down, and rough-dry it with a diffuser for a few minutes, says Redway. For a soft, fluffy texture like Arrington's, MiChele used a Mason Pearson brush to separate her defined curls. "People with curly hair can be afraid to brush it out," says MiChele. "But that wild, airy texture can be really beautiful." Plus, the curls will settle down and reform, just bigger and fuller. If fluffy is not your thing, detangle curls with a wide-tooth comb instead.
Use the right stylers for your hair type: If your hair is fine, MiChele says skip heavier oils, which weigh down curls. For a lightweight leave-in option, try DoTerra Fractionated Coconut Oil ($16, doterra.com). For richer hydration, the Living Proof leave-in at left is a good one. But hairstylist Lacy Redway (who works with Alicia Keys) warns that you should use any product sparingly around the bangs, since things can get a little sticky.
Fix wonky bangs: Curls dry differently every time—and not always the way you want them to. Redirect any weirdly shaped strands by hitting that area with a little water or spritzing it with Moroccanoil Curl Re-Energizing Spray ($26, moroccanoil.com). "Then sculpt it with your hands," MiChele says. Add in a few duck-bill clips to shape it while it dries.

Michelle Obama's
Secret Weapon
As she leaves the White House, the man behind Mrs. O's makeup talks about his time with her. By Tia Williams
G L AMOU R: With the First Lady, you've created some of the last decade's most celebrated looks. Was makeup always your calling? CAR L R AY: When I was 14, my parents got divorced. I used to watch my mom do her makeup when she was getting back on the dating scene, and I remember thinking, I could do a better job for her. I was already an artist, and that's when I realized I had a talent that could help people. It was a good feeling. G L AMOUR: You've been everywhere with Mrs. Obama. And the whole world is watching. How do you keep reinventing her look? CR: I consider context first—the dress, audience, setting, climate, time of day; what's the culture of the country we're visiting? I love taking beauty cues from the women around the world. During a trip to Cuba, I was inspired by the bright pop art colors, so I gave her a vivid coral lip. When she travels to India or Morocco, where women wear dark-rimmed eyes, I experiment with deeper eyeshadows. Mrs. Obama is a great collaborator. We clicked immediately, from the first time we worked together, at the 2009 Easter Egg Roll at the White House. GLAMOUR: Does she feel a responsibility to look a certain way, as a role model for young girls? C R : She's always conscious of setting an example. For Mrs. Obama it's about being polished in an authentic way. She always
54 glamour.com
looks like herself. To exude the confidence she shows the world, she has to feel great in her own skin. GLAMOUR: And what look do you think makes her feel that way? CR: A beautiful nude lip gloss. Peach, pink, nude-nude—she's tried them all. GLAMOUR: Have you ever secretly wanted a makeup do-over? CR: I'm always happy with the looks we come up with. But once, I was scared that I wouldn't have her ready in time. We were on a flight to her 2016 DNC speech, but there was a bad storm, so we kept circling Philadelphia. The clock was ticking, and I kept trying to touch up her makeup so she'd be ready the instant we landed. But the turbulence made it impossible! Mrs. Obama was holding my hand steady, like, "Let me help you out," so I could apply lip liner. We couldn't stop laughing. I'm just relieved I didn't get anything on her dress. GLAMOUR: Looking back, what are the most memorable moments? C R : I'll never forget the 2016 state dinner when the Obamas welcomed the former Italian prime minister and his wife. That glimmery Atelier Versace gown was a statement, so I came up with an eye look that was equally high drama and fun. I blended a shimmery shadow over a dark smoky eye. It looked incredible. Also, the 2012 inauguration. I was touched to see Mrs. Obama looking so radiant, dancing with the president. We went to, like, 10 different balls and events that night. It was such an honor to be there with her, to be a part of history. GLAMOUR: So what's next? CR: I'll still work with Mrs. Obama as we'll both still be in D.C. But I'm also going to have time for other bookings…so look me up!
ast October, when First Lady Michelle Obama showed up to her final state dinner in a (now legendary) rose gold chain mail Atelier Versace number, it was the mic drop heard around the world. Yes, the dress was next-level glam, but as all beauty devotees instantly noted, her makeup slayed. Those smoky lids! That glowy skin! The overall awesomeness created by Carl Ray, her longtime behind-the-scenes makeup artist! As Mrs. Obama's historic run as First Lady drew to a close, we sat down with Ray to get intel on everything from her go-to makeup product to the trickiest look they'd ever pulled off together (hint: It involved a shaky plane landing). Listen in.
"Carl [far right] takes the time to understand [you] so that his work is authentic to who you are. That is a truly exceptional talent. I feel fortunate to call him my friend." —First Lady Michelle Obama

ack in middle school band class, I saw my first Hayao Miyazaki film and fell in love with anime. From there, I discovered my favorite series, Peach Girl, by wandering into a Japanese bookstore. And in college I took a manga course in Tokyo and may or may not have played Pikachu in a Pokémon musical (or rather, Mew-sical). But anime isn't just nostalgic for me; it's part of my beauty persona. I'll never quite identify with the bombshell type, but wide-eyed, occasionally clumsy Sailor Moon? Any day. Here, my go-to essentials for feeling like a Sailor Scout on the regular. For glowing skin: (1) SK-II GenOptics Aura Essence ($240, sk-ii.com), followed by (2) Herbivore Botanicals Moon Fruit Superfruit Night Treatment ($58, sephora.com). For ethereal highlights: (3) Milk Makeup Holographic Stick ($28, milkmakeup.com) on my collarbones and (4) Guerlain Météorites Happy Glow Pearls ($74, sephora.com) on my cheeks. For expressive eyes: (5) Clinique Lash Power Flutter-to-Full Mascara ($21, clinique .com). For a rosy f lush: (6) Canmake Cream Cheek in CL06 (starting at $8, amazon.com) on my apples, and for my lips (7) Tonymoly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar in Neon Red (starting at $6, amazon.com) or (8) Paul & Joe Lipstick CS in Russian Blue ($20, b-glowing.com); that gray color you see turns fuchsia upon application. And for a stellar scent: (9) Mugler Angel Gravity Star Eau de Parfum ($150 for 2.6 oz., mugler.com), which is basically the Legendary Silver Crystal come to life.

Fitness, According to Superheroes
As more female action heroes fill our screens, more crazy-cool stuntwomen get work. Yay for that! Also: Fitness secrets, please? By Jessica M. Goldstein
ethany Levy is barefoot in a black dress on the edge of a 10-story building. She can see most of downtown Los Angeles, although all she needs to spot is her landing mark 100 feet below. She takes a breath and swandives down, secured in a harness,
rigged to a crane, somersaulting in midair before slowing to a stop. It's an exceptional day, even for a stuntwoman like Levy: She's doubling for Beyoncé's iconic fall in Lemonade. Levy is part of a f leet of stuntwomen whose job market has grown thanks to the proliferation of female leads like Jessica
Jones, Superg irl, and Wonder Woman. "Nowadays there are tons of women—and women of color—in leading action roles," says Levy. "There's plenty of work to go around." This elite crew gave Glamour a peek at their lives: the action, the job challenges, and the ideas we can all use. Turn the page!

Wellbeing / Training Day Beyond the stunts, "doubles" have to perform a kind of magic trick— they make themselves disappear, so you see only the actress, not them. It can be a challenge, since they can't pack on more muscle than the star they're doubling for. "We walk a fine line between staying true to our own body and molding to someone else's," says Shauna Duggins, who has doubled for Melissa Benoist on Supergirl. But no overdieting, please: If you're too lean, you risk injury. "You want to have muscle to protect yourself—you hit the ground hard in these stunts," says Levy. That strength matters. Heidi Germaine Schnappauf, Jaimie Alexander's double on Blindspot, injured her neck after a high fall in 2015. "If I'd been even a little smaller or less strong, I could have done some real damage." Helena Barrett, who doubled for Amy Adams in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and did stunt work in the upcoming Twin
Peaks series, describes the way stuntwomen think about their bodies as a heightened version of what the average woman feels every day: "In my job I constantly compare myself to other actresses," she admits. "But I can't be that skinny and be able to do backflips. That gives me self-assurance."
…and They Have to Fight Old-School Ideas These women do everything their male counterparts do, but often in stilettos and always in skimpier outfits. "I've done multiple-stair falls in a dress, which means no padding," says Duggins. "I did have a tailbone pad once—I tucked it into my underwear!" And in a line of work where your body is your job, pregnancy can cost you long after the baby arrives, say these women. "The joke in the community is that you're pregnant for five years," Barrett says. "[Stunt coordinators] go, 'Oh, she's pregnant,' and you're like, 'That was two years ago!' "
So They Know Self-Care Really Matters "This job is not just about doing the stunts; it's also about taking care of your body after you do them," says Schnappauf, who has performed everything from drowning to being set on fire. Some stunts require physical strength, sure, but all of them require restorative time. "Every week I see a chiropractor and do hot yoga and a recovery workout for my joints," says Schnappauf. The stuntwomen we talked to apply that balanced approach to their diets too: "If I eat spaghetti today, tomorrow I eat a salad," says Ming Qiu, who does her signature martial arts work on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. "I try for moderation. So I feel healthier and happier when I go to work." And those feelings are priceless. After all, says Duggins, "I get to go to work and beat up the bad guys and jump off buildings and get set on fire and race cars—and then go home and have a normal life. How awesome is that?"

"I drink kombucha [and] eat sushi" and recently cut out dairy, she says. "It made a huge difference. I was so much lighter on my feet."
"I believe in moderation. If I need to drop a few pounds [for a role], I cut out carbs and extras like chocolate. My body adapts very quickly."
For Qiu, it's more about when she eats. "I try to finish dinner around 6:00 P.M. and not eat anything after," she says. "I feel better when I wake up."
"Pretty close to a Paleo diet: lower carbs, higher in [good] fats and proteins. But I live in New York City. If I couldn't have pizza, I might go crazy!"

Unlikely Sidekicks That's how Lianna Carrera (in suit) describes her sister, Luisanna CarreraTimmons (in gown).
A Tale of Two Sisters
One is gay; one's straight. One's a comedian; the other a former pro cheerleader. And yeah—their styles are pretty different too. Here's why none of that matters. By Lianna Carrera My younger sister, Luisanna, and I grew up in a supertraditional Southern Baptist household. Our dad, a minister for the deaf, and our mom, a Baptist chaplain (and deaf herself), were church planters, meaning they opened a new ministry every few years all across the South. They loved to dress both me and Luisanna, or DeDe, as I've always called her, in adorable ribbons and dresses and bows.
To say we responded differently to all that would be an understatement. Even before I could speak (or sign), my mom got the memo about how much I hated wearing the frilly things she put me in: I would scream and cry every time, and once I even managed to tear off my dress and streak into the front yard in rebellion. From day one, though, DeDe crawled deliberately into

Life / You, Me, We the dresses I cast off. She liked to brush Barbie's hair and pick out outfits for Ken; I was more interested in having them make out with each other, then ripping off their heads as punishment ("True love waits, suckas!"). DeDe liked painting her nails; I preferred a good paintball fight. As a preteen, my sister loved to pore over the beauty tips in fashion magazines; I'd tear out the pages and crumple them into basketballs. I'd like to say I tried to bridge our differences with empathy and understanding, but the older I got, the more I pulled away from my sister, thinking that what separated us on the surface probably meant we were different underneath too. I often wondered whether we'd ever be friends.
"The older I got, the more I pulled away," says Lianna (here, age 10). Opposite: Luisanna, in her high school cheer uniform

Unable to articulate how loved and grateful I felt, I ribbed, "Too bad cheerleading still isn't a sport." "It's a sport!" she shrieked. Today I know my mom was doing the best she could with the emotional tools she had. I'm a huge believer that we all need to show grace to the people we love, that in our truth will come their truth, even if it takes them a little longer to see it. But at the time it was DeDe's easy acceptance that took some of the sting out of my mother's reaction.
nce I was out, finding the right things to wear seemed even more important. I wanted people to look at me and see someone comfortable with who she was. And I was comfortable with my gay identity—I just had no idea how to express that through fashion. I vacillated between the "Masculine is me!" look (men's XL polos and baggy khaki pants), the skater-girl look (knit caps, flannels, and joggers), and even, occasionally, the girly-girl look (whatever fit me in DeDe's closet). When senior prom rolled around, I was excited about going with my girlfriend—but not about the matching sequined dresses we'd somehow decided to wear. While we both looked beautiful and the dance was fun, by the end of that night I knew with every fiber of my being that I never wanted to wear another dress again. It wasn't worth feeling like an alien to myself just to make other people happy. Flash-forward five years to me, at 21, standing at my best friend Amber's wedding in a halter dress with a plunging neckline and bubble skirt. So much for that vow. I'd agreed to the getup to make Amber's mom, a Southern Baptist like mine, comfortable. And it was tolerable: One gift that comes from a lifetime of growing up boyish in a conservative world is
hen I was in middle school, I went from shooting magazine paper balls into trash cans to playing in competitive travel leagues; DeDe took up cheerleading. She was really into it, working endlessly to nail her stunts. One day, as she was practicing in front of the TV, swinging her side ponytail and blocking my view of Family Matters, I snapped. "There's no future in cheerleading!" I said. "Pick a real sport!" My sister froze. Our eyes locked. Her glossed lips quivered. "Cheerleading is a sport!" she yelled, running out of the room. DeDe didn't stop cheerleading, but she did stop cheering for me during my games of driveway basketball. Did I miss her? You bet. But, being 13, I never told her that. Nor did I tell her that there were times I envied her effortless femininity, though I'm sure she noticed the days I went to school in ill-fitting pink shirts and tight designer jeans in an effort to emulate her. Trying to dress like my sister was like trying to write in bubble letters: Seemed like a great idea but looked a little dumb in practice. More often I'd rummage through my father's closet for something to wear. He'd find me and joke, "Uh, aren't you supposed to be going through your mother's clothes?" Meanwhile, DeDe would dig through my closet and huff, "It's not fair! Other people have sisters to share their clothes with! Why do you have to dress like a boy?!" (Once, I snapped back, "Why do you dress like a ho?" She didn't dress like a ho, or maybe she kind of did; she was in middle school, after all.) I was 16 and DeDe was only 12 when I came out of the closet. I did it the way any dramatic teenager would: through song! Standing before my entire lacrosse team with my guitar, I sang and power-strummed my way through an angsty poem, ending with the declaration, "I'm gaaay!" My delivery might not have been Grammy-worthy, but everyone was cool with the fact that I'd spilled the beans. At least at school. When I broke the news to my parents, my mother retired to bed (where she would stay for a week). My dad took it in stride. I'd planned, nervously, to tell my sister in private, but Mom got to her before I could, lamenting to DeDe: "You're not going to believe this, but your sister is a lesbian!" "Duh!" my sister responded, her best wisecrack to date. Later, at our kitchen table, DeDe surprised me. "I told Mom I don't care at all," she said, her arm tight around me. "I love you, as big as the sky!" That was something our abuela used to say to us, to help us understand that her love was unconditional and huge and everlasting. Could it be that my sister and I weren't so different after all?
wants you to wear a dress," I responded very differently than I had at 21. With all the love I could muster, I told my sister, "I'll be there. I'm so happy for you. But I just don't want to wear a dress." I wasn't sure how she'd react. At this point she lived across the country from me, and while we talked on the phone occasionally, our lives had never been more different. DeDe had grown up to be a cheerleader ambassador for the NFL's Washington Redskins (my bad—there was a future in cheering) and loved clubbing, renting party buses with her friends, and watching YouTube makeup tutorials. She was marrying into a conservative Washington, D.C., family of police officers, FBI agents, and big-game hunters. Of course she envisioned a traditional, elegant wedding fit for a bridal magazine. But my sister didn't blink: "OK, then you won't!" she said. "I'll tell Mom it's my wedding, and you'll wear what you want." I chose a custom suit with a deep purple tie and pocket square. On the day of the wedding, when I hung the suit next to the bridesmaids' dresses in the bridal suite, the reaction was ecstatic; they included and embraced me without hesitation. But self-acceptance is an ongoing practice. Minutes before walking down the aisle, my nerves kicked in. I was suddenly aware of (a) how I risked making this whole thing look like a gay wedding whenever DeDe and I stood too close, and (b) how far I was from my liberal Los Angeles bubble. Why hadn't I just worn a stupid dress to blend in? What saved me at that moment is what has always saved me: sisterhood. DeDe, my unlikely sidekick, gave me a hug, a laugh, and a push down the aisle. With that I was able to confidently make my way forward—my sister even joked that I looked like I was working a red carpet. When it was time for my maid of honor speech, I took a deep breath and looked out at the crowd shifting in their seats. "Hello, everyone," I said, signing as I spoke so all the guests could understand. "I'm Lianna, Luisanna's older, girlier sister." The hall exploded with laughter, and I braved on, skewering my father for having sobbed like a baby during his speech: "I'm not going to cry," I said. "Our dad took care of that." Then I paused to make eye contact with each member of my family. My mother, looking like a mermaid in her silver lamé gown, was smiling, seated next to my partner, whom she'd long ago embraced; my father, in a purple tie like mine, was relaxed and happy; and best of all, DeDe was laughing so hard, she was doubled over and crying. If I hadn't realized it before, I realized it then: My sister is a spectacular friend. She gave me the space and love and support I needed to shine and to be me, and in turn I gave her the support she needed to order Chipotle the night before she had to fit into a very expensive, tight wedding dress—and the strength to embrace the uniqueness of our family. Of course I ended my speech by signing something important and true: that I loved her too, as big as the sky.
"Before walking down the aisle, my nerves kicked in. Why hadn't I just worn a stupid dress to blend in?" you learn to not be rigid and inflexible. But after the ceremony, sensing my discomfort, Amber pulled me aside and ordered, "Dude. Put on a tie and pants at the reception." So I did, and gave away my bridesmaid's dress to her aunt Susan in the buffet line. And that really was the last time I wore a dress.
ow, almost a decade later, I am a fully realized adult, with fully realized tastes in people, wine, and clothes. I've discovered clothing lines that blend masculinity and femininity in a perfect way for tomboys and gender-nonconforming people, like Wildfang, Saint Harridan, Bindle & Keep, Sloane & Tate, and even gender-neutral boots made by Nik Kacy. I live in Los Angeles, where I do stand-up comedy and am creating a show about my boyish experiences for television. I'm comfortable in my skin, and, finally, I look it. So last year, when DeDe told me that she was getting married and added that familiar caveat from my past, "Mom

Remy Holwick at a GRLCVLT event in Brooklyn
e're totally pro women here. Obviously. But dating and loving men has a way of unearthing the kind of little feminist dilemmas that make you wonder, at least fleetingly, how bendable your principles are. (For instance, a perfect boyfriend, except that occasionally, after a couple of Hornitos shots, he refers to women as numbers. Keep him? Ditch him? What to do?) You could ask an expert with a Ph.D. Or you
Your Feminist Dilemmas, Solved
could hit up the very Brooklyn-cool crowd that is GRLCVLT—an invite-only sisterly hive of 2,700 smart, feminist women, most in their twenties and thirties, who meet in a private Facebook group and IRL to hash out everything from cultural appropriation to inappropriate sex. "It's so great to have access to women with different experiences," says founder Remy Holwick, 35, who has worked at a porn store, been discovered by Ford Models (she was a face of Calvin Klein jeans), and will publish a photography book next year. "The whole idea is to talk. And when we talk, we find solutions." Here, the women of GRLCVLT take on your questions.
A while ago, after drinking, I woke up to a guest of my roommate's on top of and inside me. I pushed him off and went back to sleep, and since then I haven't thought much about it. Should I care more? Or if I can brush it off, why not? —Anonymous, 25, Washington, D.C.
You have the right to feel however you feel. Your number-one priority should be self-care and making sure that you feel safe in your living situation. But if you have the instinct to confront this guy and feel comfortable doing so, then it's important he understand that what he did is not OK. It might show him that he cannot continue this behavior. M E G A N M O N C R I E F, T E A C H E R : A f t e r trauma it's not out of the ordinary to feel unshaken at first, so please consider talking to a professional even if it feels like things are just fine. Over time the psychological fallout from sexual violence can manifest in everything from trust issues to physical symptoms. VICTORIA CARTER, CHEESEMONGER: However you process this is valid, and it's nobody's place to judge you for that. That said, I do want to make sure you understand that you were raped. This dude entered your body without your permission. Once you've been really honest with yourself about that, if you still feel fine about it, then keep on keeping on. DEA JULIEN, ACTRESS:
How do I handle a loving and supportive husband who often makes insensitive, sexist remarks about women in general? —Anonymous, 37, San Diego
JENN HOFFMAN, WRITER- REPORTER: I feel you. My loving partner isn't always a woke bae. What works best has been to send him articles about feminism so he can educate himself without being put on the spot or getting in a fight. MICHELLE AVIDON, HEALTH COACH: Explain why what he's saying is hurtful. Something like, "When you said this, it made me feel like you think of me this way. I know you don't, but it brings me and other women down." He should try to understand it from your point of view. J U LI ET B R ET T, ACTR ES S: I don't see how loving and supportive can equal sexist and insensitive. If he isn't willing to bend, would that be a game changer for you? I'd imagine that with a partner having a POV like this, issues manifest in other ways which aren't so fun in the relationship.
Recently I've wanted to date and/or sleep with a black dude, which would be a first for me (I'm white). Am I fetishizing black men by specifically looking for one? —M.G., 27, Boston
CHAELE DAVIS, PASTRY CHEF: As someone who has been on the other side of this, it doesn't really feel great to be a check on a list of things to do. I can understand attraction, but if the attraction is simply to do something different, it isn't fair to the other people involved in this equation. AM NA S HAM I M , MAR KETI N G CO N SU LTANT:
It depends on whether you're looking at black men and finding them really attractive right now or whether you just want the novelty. If it's the former, then OK, but if it's the latter, you're fetishizing them. VI CTO R IA CARTE R : You said you wanted to "date and/or sleep with" a black dude,
which are super-different goals. If you're fine with either, sounds to me like you're collecting experiences as opposed to trying to make a genuine connection. And why a black dude as opposed to making your pool of suitors more diverse across the board? It's good that this raised enough of a red flag to make you question your desires but…girl, no. A N N A L I I S A B E N S T O N , V I S U A L A R T I S T:
Think about how you'd feel if someone wanted to have sex with you or maybe date you only because of your race. No one wants to be a story, a notch on the bedpost, fetishized, appreciated only because of their skin tone…. If you want to meet different kinds of people, start going to places you wouldn't normally go and make an effort to be friends with people who aren't like you.
I'm super into being dominated, and other things along those lines, in bed. Am I perpetuating ideas of female submission when I have sex like this? Sometimes I feel guilty about it. —S.S., 26, Norfolk, Conn.
DANIELLE GUERCIO, BEAUTY WRITER: Being submissive is not unfeminist. The whole key is choice, consent, and happiness. You're not perpetuating anything but your own enjoyment. ZOE WHITNEY, SEX EDUCATOR: There is no right or wrong way to have sex as long as it's safe and consensual. There are many strong women who choose submission as a relief from being in charge of everything. KRISTEN CHIUCARELLO, ZINE EDITOR: Kink for me actually is powerful! You get to set your boundaries, call your own pleasure, define what you like and don't like. VICTOR IA CARTER: Just because you like to take orders and get tied up in the bedroom doesn't mean you'd ever stand for that treatment in your daily life. The idea that your sexually submissive tendencies are shameful is a way society uses our sexuality to keep us down. L AU R E N N I C OTE R A , C O STU M E D E S I G N E R :

Beware the Gender Investing Gap By Sallie Krawcheck, legendary Wall Street barrier-breaker and author of the new book Own It. She knows!
here are entire books—OK, an entire cottage industry—on how to ask for a raise. And yes, without one you could lose out on hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your career. But it drives me nuts that so many personal-finance writers imply a raise is the only thing that matters. For some women, what I call the "gender investing gap" (women are less likely to invest than men) may cost even more. That's why I believe the best career advice is this: Invest your money. It may be the most important career move you ever make. We women default to keeping some 68 percent of our savings in checking and savings accounts instead of in diversified investment portfolios that historically yield higher returns over time. Why does that matter? Consider these numbers: Let's say you are making $85,000 a year and setting aside 20 percent (good on you!), but putting it into a savings account rather than investing. Any guess what that costs you over a decade? It's $100 a day! If you had a hole in your purse and $100 fell out of it every day, how long would it take you to fix it? Not a decade! But that's basically what's happening if you don't invest. Need more convincing?
It lets you take a career break
It allows you to reinvent yourself
One huge perk of successful investment is the opportunity to fund a sabbatical— time out of the workplace to soul-search or care for an ailing relative. Sometimes this time off is not voluntary; people get laid off or even fired. But any break can advance your career if you use the time to go after new skills. I've taken three such breaks, and many of my lightning-bolt insights happened while I was out of the office. But career breaks can be expensive. Investing now can help you replace your salary for the time you are out of the workplace.
Let me break it down: Money is power. It's the power to negotiate with confidence, start your own business, invest in yourself. For example, if you're stagnating at work, it might be time to take a class in something you know nothing about or master a new technology you can't even pronounce. Your investments can help fund that.
The retirement savings crisis—the startling fact that Americans don't stash nearly enough money for their later years—is a women's crisis. We retire with two thirds the money that men do but live five-plus years longer. That means we're

more likely to spend our final years scraping by. You could wait for changes to Social Security or the tax code, but the better bet is to invest now. (Start with an index fund or low-cost exchange-traded fund; a financial adviser or platform like Ellevest or Vanguard can help.) It will make the difference between a 75th birthday spent redecorating your house and one spent refinancing your mortgage. One last thing: Yes, investing can do a lot for us as individuals, but as a group, women control five trillion dollars. Let's say that instead of putting $1 trillion in savings accounts, we were to invest it in stocks and bonds that, on average, earn 5 percent a year. We'd earn $50 billion a year on those assets—$40 billion more than if we left it in cash. That's serious power for the women of this country. So yes, go get that raise. But also take ownership of your f inancial future. You're already working hard to make money, so why not make that money work for you? Sallie Krawcheck is the cofounder and CEO of Ellevest, an investment platform for women.

Is It Safe to Talk Politics Yet?
It may not be comfortable, but it's healthy. We got eight women of different political stripes to discuss what's next, and they got honest. By S.E. Cupp and Krystal Ball In the lead-up to Inauguration Day, some young women are celebrating Donald Trump's swearing-in, some are preparing to protest, and some are holding their breath, not quite sure about what's going to come next. But are we talking to each other? Do we share something, anything, in common? Glamour columnists (and real-life friends) S.E. Cupp, a conservative, and Krystal Ball, a liberal, sat down with a diverse group of voters to find out. KRYSTAL BALL: Najma, let's start with you. You describe
yourself as a person who has multiple identities that have been attacked and demonized by Donald Trump. What have your experiences been like in the weeks since the election? NAJ MA ALI OSMAN: I'm a Somali American and a Muslim, and I work at a university. After the election a person showed up on campus wearing Klan garb, holding a Trump sign. I know that's not representative of all Trump supporters, but people are taking his win as liberty to be even more open with their bigotry.

S.E. CUPP: Caitlin, you are a Trump voter. Do you have those concerns about Trump and his supporters? CAITLIN WATTERS: My family, we're all Trump supporters, and we'd never do that. People on both sides are making each other look bad. People [at an anti-Trump protest] held a "Rape Melania" sign. [Editor's note: Some experts say the photos of the sign may have been altered.] It's unfair to group a category of people. CARISSA RUPP: A lot of us who voted for Trump didn't vote for him because of bigotry. We voted for him because of other principles that we feel strongly about. But [hate] groups have latched on, and they know if they tie [their message] to Trump, they get everyone's ear. That disgusts me. So I do denounce that behavior whenever it's presented to me. NAJMA: To me, Trump's scariest proposal is the Muslim registry [he suggested at the beginning of the campaign] and the ban on Muslim immigrants coming to the United States. ALYSSA CORDOVA: I voted for him, but I don't want him to follow through on a Muslim registry. That's a huge overstep. KRYSTAL: Carissa, you had a hard time coming to the decision to vote for Trump.

U.S. But a good handful of loved ones are unfortunately undocumented or have DACA [the Obama provision that keeps those who arrived as minors from being deported]. After the election I called them, saying, "These are the steps we need to take to [protect your ability to stay here]." It was 4:00 A.M.; I was calling them in my own kind of panic state. S.E.: Caitlin, what's your reaction to that? CAITLIN: I never want anybody to be afraid when they're living in the United States. That's unfortunate, and I'm sorry. [But] I think people should be trying to [come here legally]. I hope Trump remains strong on border security and removing illegal immigrants who have committed multiple felonies here. KRYSTAL: I want to move to a point of potential agreement between you, Caitlin, and Shreya: climate change. SHREYA GANESHAN: Trump has suggested he'd cancel the Paris Agreement. I worked [as an intern] on the team at the State Department that negotiated it this summer, and it would be in our very, very negative interest to withdraw [and not] address climate change. I hope that doesn't happen. CAITLIN: I hope that Trump abides by the Paris Agreement too. I think that was good work on President Obama's part. I'm a Republican, but global warming scares me. KRYSTAL: Trump picked Scott Pruitt, a prominent climate change skeptic, to head the Environmental Protection Agency. Thoughts? CAITLIN: I don't think it's the best choice, but I want to wait and see. Part of Trump's success in business is surrounding himself with good people. I think he'll continue to do that. S H R E YA: When Trump nominates heads of companies like Exxon that have poured millions into "research" to negate climate science, I don't think that's surrounding himself with the right people. KIM FREDERICK: What's really terrifying to me is [Trump] has zero foreign policy experience. Given the stakes in geopolitical affairs, that's extremely dangerous. KRYSTAL: Rachel, you voted for Evan McMullin. R ACHEL HOFF: As a single-issue voter on national security and lifelong Republican, I had concerns about policies Trump outlined…. But I'm cautiously hopeful. I have liked what I've heard from Trump's team about standing by our allies—Japan, South Korea. KRYSTAL: We've learned he's taking intelligence briefings far less than his predecessors. Carissa, concerns about that? CARISSA: What I read was: If there was new information, Trump wanted to know. If that information is redundant, I can understand not wanting to hear that every single day.

I don't want to take away insurance that is helping millions of Americans right now. If there was a better replacement for it, then that's a discussion to have.

But without regulations, we'd have companies poisoning the water we drink, or lead in our pipes. And so wholesale deregulation, which sounds like the Trump POV, is a little scary. S.E.: What about a promise you hope he won't keep? R AC H E L: Trump promised to sign the First Amendment Defense Act, which would effectively legalize LGBT discrimination if it passes. I hope he finds it within himself to not follow through on that. ALYSSA: You've got this ongoing issue with Christian florists and bakers who don't want to participate in gay weddings. I can't imagine being in a position to have to legislate policy that honors and protects both groups. I see both sides. KIM: I'm a gay woman, and it's pretty black-and-white to me. I think people have the freedom to practice whatever religion they want in private—but you don't have the right to discriminate against people in public commerce. When you start to say, "religious freedom," well, what group is next? Is it blacks again? Is it you? S.E .: How are you handling interactions with family and friends who voted differently than you did? CAITLIN: As a Trump supporter on a liberal campus, I had friends who didn't talk to me after the election. Some fellow students whispered, "I'm happy too," and it made me so sad that they still felt the need to hide their votes…. A lot of Democrats say they want to be open to everyone. But the second they hear I'm a Trump supporter, I get shut down. CAR ISSA: When I talk to Republicans and Democrats, I point out that there are issues that we have given to political parties. The environment is supposed to be the Democrats' issue. In Missouri, disability, surprisingly, is a Republican issue. We've got to take these issues back and give everyone

ownership of them so we can have an honest dialogue. KRYSTAL: What does it take for you, Carissa, to feel comfortable having an honest dialogue with the other side? CARISSA: It's very simple: I want someone to really listen to what I'm saying. To not immediately fire back at me, or to question every single thing that I'm saying. Recognize that I have a different experience than you. NAJMA: Carissa, what you said resonates with me. I want us
"I want someone to really listen to what I'm saying. To not immediately fire back at me." to all extend that grace to each other. I respect conservative values; a lot of my family members have very conservative values. But in this election, I think it's also OK to extend some grace and understanding to people who are non– Trump supporters too. Donald Trump has said very hateful things. So I really hope you understand why it's hard for me to be objective. KRYSTAL: What would a successful Trump presidency look like for each of you? NAJMA: In an ideal Trump presidency, he truly is working for the average American, outside of his own self-interest. Because regardless of identity, we're all struggling in some way. If he could help with health care and create jobs for the average American, I would totally get behind that. KIM: If some of those foreign policy things hadn't already happened, I would have been more open. But now, if I'm being honest: impeachment. [Group laughs.] CAITLIN: That's hilarious. KIM: I'm sorry, I tried. CAITLIN: That's OK. I appreciate your honesty. If I'm in Texas, we should get a drink. KIM: Absolutely. I want him to be successful—but based on what's already happened, I just don't see it. CARISSA: I think one thing everyone can agree on is that the man does not have much of a filter! My fear is that we're going to keep going from one extreme to the next. My hope is that we'll have real discussions about what we need to do to unite ourselves again. glamour.com 79
Talk / In the News The March on D.C., Explained On January 21, the day following Donald Trump's inauguration, hundreds of thousands of people are expected to turn up for what could be the largest women's demonstration in more than a decade: the Women's March on Washington. One of the event's cochairwomen, Carmen Perez, 40, answers a few pressing questions about the protest. GLAMOUR: What are you hoping comes out of this protest?
Jordan, 26, right, a descendant of Mott, above
CARMEN PEREZ: The feeling of 500,000—even a million—women coming together from all different walks of life? That's radical resistance. It will foster a spirit of togetherness, elevate morale, and say that there's a force to be reckoned with in this country: women. We won't go away until our rights are protected.
How would the women who fought for our voting rights handle politics now? We asked their descendants. By Abby Haglage
No one understood roadblocks to social progress quite like Lucretia Mott and Sojourner Truth. The nineteenth- century activists risked their lives crusading for a woman's right to vote—but didn't live to see the Nineteenth Amendment pass. Would those pioneers give up on the idea of a female president in the aftermath of 2016? Their descendants say: No way.
Lucretia Mott would consider Hillary's loss a victory. "My fifth-great-grandmother Lucretia Mott helped organize the first-ever women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Her tenacity earned her the nickname the Lioness of the Convention. Lucretia said, 'Any great change must expect opposition, because it shakes the very foundation of privilege.' [Hillary Clinton's loss] was a letdown, but how close she got is a victory. I've seen her influence all around me. One girl I babysit told me: 80 glamour.com
'Well, then, [the first woman president] is gonna be me.' " —Aurelia Jordan, 26, actor-choreographer, Berkeley, Calif.
Sojourner Truth would keep fighting. "Sojourner Truth, my fourth-greatgrandmother, was a slave who escaped to freedom in 1826. Despite being illiterate, she delivered some of the most powerful speeches on abolition and women's rights, most improvised. She once said to a threatening crowd: 'You may hiss as much as you please, but women will get their rights anyway.' That's relevant: Women are making history. Illinois just elected its first female senator to have seen combat; Nevada, its first Latina senator. Sojourner would keep fighting for a woman president. Sojourner and Lucretia fed off each other's energy and furthered each other's goals. We have to do that too." —Kelsey Ledbetter, 24, federal police dispatcher, Battle Creek, Mich.
CP: We have a team working on policies to ensure that women's rights are human rights and to protect our Muslim, immigrant, and LGBTQIA brothers and sisters and people of color. But the march itself is a way to connect to one another. This is an entry point to get involved. GLAMOUR: What would you say to those critics who think it's disrespectful to march the day after the inauguration? CP: If that's a form of disrespect, I think people need to reevaluate what disrespect means. We are grounded in the ideology of Dr. King. Coming together is something so many women need now. —A.H.
"The suffragettes would not back down"
GLAMOUR: And what action do you hope comes from the march?

All in the Family Right: Gerwig, Bening, and Fanning on set with Zumann and Crudup

Modern-Day Girl "Julie isn't a slut; she's complicated," says Fanning, left.
atching 20th Century Women—which the director Mike Mills calls "a love letter to my mom and sisters" in the late seventies— I couldn't help but think, This movie is so now. Annette Bening, 58, plays Dorothea, a resilient single mother on a mission to better raise her son, Jamie (newcomer Lucas Jade Zumann). She enlists her artistic tenant Abbie (Greta Gerwig, 33) and Jamie's crush, Julie (Elle Fanning, 18), to teach him about love, punk music, and the female orgasm. (You know, the essentials.) What we get is a hilariously honest portrait of three women at different stages in life. I sat down with the stars to talk about love and feminism. GLAMOUR: Elle, in one scene your character schools Dorothea, who is 40 years her senior, on how to pick the right guy. E LLE : I was so nervous. Every character had her scene with Annette, and that was mine! ANNETTE: You're sweet. ELLE: The feminism was just all-encompassing on our set. Once on a film I had a 7 P.M. call time and I came back at 7 A.M., and my doorman said, "Oh, you're wearing the same clothes you left in." I told Annette that story, and she was like, "Wow, he would never have done that to a guy." She helped me start to see things like that. GLAMOUR: This film touches on all types of love: romantic, platonic, familial. Annette, you've been married [to actor Warren Beatty] for almost 25 years—are you still learning about love? ANNETTE: There are tons of surprises and gifts that come along with choosing to stay together. And I say "choosing" because it's a choice, not a virtue. Everyone who stays together feels for people who break up, because everybody could break up. 82 glamour.com
GRETA: I've been with Noah [Baumbach, the filmmaker] for, what, five years? I always think about that line in the movie The Future. This couple who has also been together for around that long says they're in the middle of their relationship, and this man corrects them and says, "No, you're in the middle of the beginning." ANNETTE: It's so true because you never really know where you are [in your relationship], no matter how committed you are. ELLE: I'm struggling in that department. Dating is hard! ANNETTE: It's all hard. GLAMOUR: We see plenty of sex in the film—for all of you. ANNETTE: For women my age! You never see stories about women's sexuality who are in their fifties, unless it's this tragic thing. GRETA: You definitely don't see that in this country. ANNETTE: And I was so happy to finally see a complex 16-year-old girl who is not just obsessed with boys or looks. I flashed back on my own experiences in ninth grade. G L AMOUR: Greta, your character is nearly 30. Your role-playing sex scene with the ultimate handyman—William, played by Billy Crudup—felt so vulnerable and feminine and not raunchy at all. AN N ET TE: When I first read [the script], William was like my 19-year-old boyfriend who was a surfer and worked on a boat— GRETA: I think it's a California thing. There's still that guy who's like, "I built this canoe," and you're like, "Maybe we should make out!" GLAMOUR: If you could do it all over again, what advice would you give your younger self? ELLE: Don't be so dramatic. Nothing is set in stone. GRETA: Kiss all the people you want to kiss; never feel bad about it. ANNETTE: Even if you have to hurt people, follow your heart.

The words female empowerment are everywhere these days: news reports, panels, even commercials trying to sell you body wash or paper towels. (As a parody headline in The Onion put it, "Women Now Empowered by Everything a Woman Does.") And generally, Glamour is all about that message. After all, "one of the positive things that came out of the election this year is that it triggered a discussion about where we are in terms of gender and inequality," says Barbara Risman, Ph.D., head of the department of sociology at the University of Illinois in Chicago. "That social pressure—people coming together, making demands—is what helps push equality forward." But let's talk about the end goal of empowerment: actual, you know, power. Spending power. Earning power. Political power. And in many of these areas, the stats are… dismaying. Consider: Women account for just 15 percent of the top executives in the United States and less than 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs. We're only 7 percent of pilots and flight engineers, and 20 percent of members of Congress. As our president-elect would say: Sad! "Our country needs all the talent we can get," says Risman. "We have lots
of challenging issues facing us, and women make up half of that brainpower. To not legitimize the power of women is to rob society of half its talent." At Glamour we agree. So we decided to look at our own backyard. How often were we using female contributors to create the images you see on our pages—and how could we do better? We tallied up every assignment we made in 2016, and the numbers were underwhelming: Just 37 percent of the photographers, 32 percent of the hairstylists, and 49 percent of the makeup artists we'd commissioned were women. To be fair, we hit it out of the park in other areas: 94 percent of our writers were female, as were 80 percent of stylists. Our peers in the magazine industry had roughly the same numbers we did, and fashion and beauty insiders say they're not surprised. On one level, "women power the fashion and beauty industry," says photographer Amanda de Cadenet. "We are the ones purchasing the product. Every ad and billboard is targeted to us. Yet the images that are being created are not being created by us. It's kind of offensive!" There's no comprehensive data, but experts agree women are underrepresented in the most prominent roles.
"While the vast majority of photographers, hairdressers, makeup artists, and designers in the industry are women, at the very top it's mostly men," says historian Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. According to one study of top fashion labels, just 30 percent were designed or headed by women. And hair and makeup talent follows suit. "Even in makeup, which you'd think would have a higher percentage of women, it's still very male on the creative side," says Charlotte Tilbury, one of the world's top makeup artists and the founder of Charlotte Tilbury cosmetics. While we as a magazine can't change the gender gap in places like Congress or Wall Street overnight, we can change our own numbers. That's why, for this issue, every photographer, writer, hairstylist, and makeup artist the magazine hired was female. And we're making it our mission to collaborate with more women not just this month but every month, aiming to meaningfully increase the amount of original work we commission from talented female photographers, illustrators, makeup artists, hairstylists, and more by the end of 2017.

The Future Is Female Let's rewind for a second. How is it that women haven't been getting the biggest, most buzzed-about jobs? There is, after all, an incredibly deep pool of talented women in the fashion and beauty fields out there. (Need proof? Scroll through Instagram. We'll wait.) But women face two major roadblocks, experts say: 1. Models and celebrities often ask for men. In ad campaigns and even magazine covers, celebrities have a lot of sway. "They get to decide who they want to work with for their photography, hair, makeup, and wardrobe styling," explains hairstylist Ursula Stephen, who works with performers including Rihanna (who, for the record, has been photographed for Glamour by both men and women). "A lot of women choose men because they like the flamboyant, flirting, and over-the-top performance guys put on. They also don't want to feel intimidated by other women." Photographer Pamela Hanson agrees: "A lot of celebrities prefer to be photographed by a man," she says. "They like the sexual tension that occurs. The flattery is different too. And good luck trying to find a female hairstylist or makeup artist [on photo shoots]!" (You can find plenty in this issue—includ-
"I see a woman's strength"
Amber Heard, photographed just after her divorce was finalized in August
When I look at a woman through my camera, I see her with complete admiration and appreciation of her beauty, strength, and power—and that's how I do my best to represent her. You have a different experience as a woman walking through life; you just do. And what is documented when you shoot through a female gaze versus a male gaze is entirely different. That's why we started #GirlGaze: to curate images taken by female photographers, and support getting more women behind the camera. I witnessed my friend Amber Heard go through the most devastating period of her life as her marriage ended last year. What I saw 88 glamour.com
ing in Hanson's own story on page 116.) And another reason some celebs choose men? It's because… 2. Men rule the "glass runway." That's a term some sociologists have used for the historical bias against women designers (and, by extension, female fashion photographers and hair and makeup talent). "In the twenties and thirties, women really dominated high fashion in Paris— Lanvin, Chanel," says Steele. "But after World War II, as a result of economic and cultural changes, it was back to the home for women, and suddenly fashion's big names were male. In the fifties you had all these gender stereotypes: There was the idea that women are too close to it—they can only dress themselves. Men are the artists." That idea persists today. "There's a subtle gendering in the fashion and beauty industry where, if you're a woman interested in clothes or makeup, people assume you're superficial or somehow not as serious about your work—but if you're a man, you must be some sort of creative genius," says Allyson Stokes, Ph.D., an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Waterloo in Ontario who studies the industry. "My research shows that even the words used to describe the collections of female designers are different. Women's clothes are called things like 'wearable' and 'great for real life,' while terms like 'groundbreaking' and 'innovative' are applied to men's designs." That can apply to hair and makeup too: "I do think there's this idea that hair done by a woman is considered more wearable and a man's work is 'sharp'
was not what the rest of the world saw. I simply could not fathom the level of vitriol and aggression that was aimed at her by paparazzi and online trolls—and how that almost broke her spirit. As a photographer there are times when I have to decide if it's appropri-

and 'architectural,' " says Stephen. Tilbury agrees: "I never felt like I lost a job because I was a woman, but there is this old-fashioned view of men being the mad geniuses who do heavier, less everyday makeup than women do." Sometimes it's true that women-designed clothes or hairstyles are more wearable. After all, female creators understand how women need to work and move through the world. But Stokes says those differences don't account for the discrepancy. After analyzing the adjectives in 157 profiles about male and female designers, she found a clear, consistent pattern: Clothes created by men were described as "art" 68 times, while women got the same compliment only 10 times. "It's the language we have inherited to talk about art and creativity," she explains. "It's unclear why,

but the words we use to praise art are masculine. The first image that pops to our minds is Michelangelo or van Gogh toiling away at their craft." But that's a stereotype, not a reality: "Both sexes can be powerful and nurturing and creative geniuses," Risman points out. "We need to insist that the same expectations and standards apply to women and men—and challenge anyone who tries to tell us otherwise."
Getting women plum assignments will be great for female barrier breakers. But does it really matter for anyone else? Unequivocally yes, experts told Glamour. "I hate to generalize, but you can't deny that there's a difference between men's and women's photography," says Hanson. "We have a certain sensibility, a girlfriend vibe that I think translates to the images you see. It's not as sexualized." Photographer de Cadenet agrees. She founded #GirlGaze, a multimedia project that helps women break in to photography, to challenge traditional gender roles often seen in media. "You can give 10 people a camera and a subject, and they're all going to shoot it differently," she says. "Women have more diverse ideas about what's beautiful and strong and sensual and powerful. We want to see the real experience of being female, which is messy and imperfect and complicated and every hair is not in place. By putting more women behind the camera, we'll see a more inclusive female experience." Even the stories themselves are different when women are the ones telling them, since women have access to certain spaces that men don't—domestic abuse shelters, for instance, or living rooms where women can take off their hijabs.

Special / Powered by Women that my male counterparts may not have been able to," says Nancy Borowick, a documentary photographer whose work has appeared in Time and The New York Times. "I think my approach to storytelling has allowed me to get closer and establish the trust and intimacy necessary for meaningful work." (There are some other surprising results of shooting while female, she notes: "At times I've found myself too short to see over my male colleagues at an event, but it forced me to be creative—I would shoot through their legs, using them to frame my shot—and would get something different and more interesting in the end.") Some experts Glamour spoke to also argue that the images female photographers take focus more on emotion and storytelling as opposed to pure action—and that men sometimes present a more sexualized view of women. That difference, however slight, is a powerful one. "Women see a massive number of images every day from all types of media," says psychologist Lara Pence, Ph.D., a body-image expert at Embody Love Movement, which teaches workshops on self-esteem to teens and adults. "If half of the
images we see today were by women, it could have a profoundly positive impact on women's body image, sense of self, and beauty standards—their whole view of the world." Pence believes that's no exaggeration: "When we are shot through the lens of being small, sexual, and submissive, by men or otherwise, we unconsciously believe that this is the only way to exist in the world," she says. "When women are given permission to be more than those things, they will be. If a female photographer encourages a woman to be strong and bold on a shoot, she will feel more space and room to be those things, and then the reader who sees it will be given more permission to do the same. It's validating to know that there's more than one way to 'show up' in the world." In reality there are as many ways to "show up" as there are women. Let's see more of their work on billboards, museum walls, and yes, on magazine pages!

ne of the amazing things about women is how quickly we adapt to change. No matter how weird or new things are to us at first—ankle-revealing dresses? the right to vote? Lady Gaga?—we eventually just absorb them, like drops in a stream, until memory fades and they join up with the continually flowing river that is progress. Which is why it's kind of hard to remember that five years ago, when Girls premiered on HBO, the world was a different place. Sure, single-gal shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Murphy Brown had laid the groundwork for then 25-year-old Lena Dunham's creation. But Dunham made clear in the first episode that neither her character, Hannah, nor Jessa (Jemima Kirke), nor Marnie (Allison Williams), nor Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) would be a Sex and the City fantasy: When chirpy Shoshanna tells Jessa, "You're definitely like a Carrie, but with like some Samantha aspects, and Charlotte hair," Jessa shoots her a look that just says: No. This show would be different. Girls is fiction, obviously. But it has been committed to portraying life, for the most part, as it is. The characters look like people, not actors who spend every waking second working out or tanning or shooting up human growth hormone. The apartments they inhabit are dim and cramped. Their panic about work, money, and love is relatable, the sex they have is awkward, and they go to the bathroom, a lot. At times watching the characters flail around and shoot snot rockets in the bathtub can get uncomfortable, but then they reel you back in with a spot-on joke: "Nobody tells you how bad it's going to be in the real world," moans Shoshanna in season four. "Yeah they do," Marnie snaps. "It's pretty much all they ever tell you."
"Jemima called me. She was like, 'I don't want you to freak out. I want to quit the show.' " —Lena Dunham It is a comedy, after all. But from the start Girls intentionally pushed buttons: There's nudity, which Dunham has explained is her way of trying to normalize real women's bodies, homosexuality, and a character who is "super chill," as the website Jezebel put it, about getting an abortion. Because of that, conservative critics began to rage against it almost immediately with what seemed like outsize fervor. "If, as [Dunham's] character suggests in the show's first episode, she is the voice of her generation, then one could seriously argue that we're doomed," the National Review warned in 2013. In hindsight it seems that perhaps its detractors saw before anyone else what a force Girls would be and how it would permeate our culture. The Internet roiled with Girls think pieces and interviews with the intelligent cast, all of whom made a point of identifying as feminists and encouraged others to do so. Traveling to Texas with Dunham in 2014 for a profile, I was startled by the size of the crowds at events for her book, Not That Kind of Girl, which she held in conjunction with Planned Parenthood, a favored cause. Since then Dunham has further immersed herself in politics; she was one of Hillary Clinton's most vocal campaign surrogates. Meanwhile, Kirke advocated for the Center for Reproductive Rights, candidly sharing her own abortion story; Mamet wrote about her insecurities and struggles with an eating dis100 glamour.com
order in Glamour; and as an ambassador to Horizons National, Williams focused on closing the education gap. Last year all four women released a PSA urging support for sexual-assault survivors. One can bet that Girls isn't going to go out lightly in its last season. And the show's legacy will be felt long after it goes off the air: Shows like Broad City, Love, and Better Things all have Girls in their DNA. Dunham and Girls executive producer Jenni Konner, who interviews the cast below, have made it their mission to deepen the bench of women storytellers by founding a newsletter, Lenny Letter, and a production company, A Casual Romance Productions. And so the river of progress will continue its inexorable flow forward and not back. With that, Jenni, take it away. —Jessica Pressler JENNI KONNER: Here's the idea: When you leave a job, they do something called an exit interview, where they ask you questions about your experience at that company. I want to ask you questions from a corporation's actual exit interview for this interview. And the company we're going to talk about is Girls. So. Hi, guys. Welcome. LENA DUNHAM: Hi, Jennifer. JENNI: I'm going to start with Jemima. What was the most satisfying thing about your job, and the least satisfying? JEMIMA KIRKE: OK, thank you. The least and the most satisfying thing about my job was my relationship with Lena. [Laughter.] In a good way. It definitely caused us to get closer [after 15 years of friendship], and it caused us to fight. And then at the end of it, you know, [our relationship] was nicer. J E N N I: Everyone, take your cue from Jemima and be brutally honest. [Laughter.] All right—Allison? ALLISON WILLIAMS: I started playing one person, then she evolved so much. I got to exercise all kinds of muscles. The least satisfying? I always wanted to be in the show more. [Laughter.] That was my M.O. every year. I wanted to be a piece of furniture in Hannah's apartment, if that's what it took. JENNI: Jemima just said, "That's so typical." And I was about to say, "That's so on-brand." ALLISON: Listen, I'm consistent. JENNI: You are nothing if not consistent. It's such a relief. Zosia? ZOSIA MAMET: The most satisfying part was getting to play a person who was so intrinsically opposite of me in, like, every atom of my being. The dissatisfying thing was that I came to know this human that I created. And love her. And now I miss her. JENNI: Lena? LENA: I think the most satisfying part was learning to treasure collaboration. When I went into the job, I had fear about letting other people into my process. So whether it was becoming partners with you, Jenni, and realizing that I had a lifelong creative partner, which isn't something that I ever expected to have in my life based on being raised by parents who went into a studio alone and acted like art was a solitary activity. Or building my relationships with Allison and Zosia, and learning to listen when they had a note and not become defensive. Or the hardest, learning to listen to Jemima, because I always felt like she was, like, six steps from murdering me and I had to protect myself. But all of that helped me learn the satisfying thing of opening up and understanding that other people's concepts of their characters, their ideas, are just as valuable as mine. JENNI: And least satisfying? LENA: Sometimes I would get very lonely, because I wanted to be a part of the group, but there was also the element of, like, having to boss people around. And we would be doing all this as a team, [but] if we got criticism, I felt like it would all come down on me in this shit-storm torrent. Even though I was surrounded by love, there were times where I felt very "by myself" in the process.

JENNI: I'm just gonna say—the hardest part of my job was just trying to get you guys not to get haircuts and tattoos! [Laughter.] Now back to the questionnaire: What would you change about the job, if you could, now? JEMIMA: Ugh, I think season two. JENNI: Your whole season? LENA: That was the season where you said I had to get out of your dressing room or you were gonna punch me, Jem. J E M I MA: Season two was kind of traumatic for me. I think for everyone. And I know that I was a bit of a tyrant myself. LENA: I think it's time for us to disclose to the world that, like, three days before season two, Jemima tried to quit. [Laughter.] JEMIMA: Yeah. My sense of who I was and what I wanted was really thin. I really wasn't sure what the f-ck I was doing. LENA: I remember being in a cab. And Jemima called me. She was like, "I have to tell you something. It's not a big deal. I don't want you to freak out. I want to quit the show." [Laughter.] J E N N I: We're so glad you stayed, Jem. Zosia, what would you change? ZOSIA: Oh, f-ck. That's so hard. So much of my day-to-day work on the show was my attempt to try and find Shoshanna. I think I had a lot of anxiety that I wouldn't hit her tone right. JENNI: But you invented her tone. ZOSIA: It was such a surprise to me that that [character] came out of me. I was so all-encompassed in getting it right that I think I lost some of the "relishing the moment" of being in the scenes. JENNI: Allison? ALLISON: What would I change? The entire show was a real exercise in trust and lack of control for me. And so three seasons ago, I probably would have said I wish I had been a writer and producer on the show. [Laughter.] Have some element of control. But now I know that it would have driven me to an early insane asylum. I don't have the skill that Lena does, which is to be able to extricate myself from my own body as I'm writing my character.
"It is a workspace, but it's creative. We put so much of ourselves into this. And feelings do get hurt." —Jemima Kirke JENNI: OK, Lena? What would you change? LENA: Making my deal with HBO as a 23-year-old woman, I felt that I had so much to prove. I felt like I had to be the person who answered emails the fastest, stayed up the latest, worked the hardest. As much as I loved my job, I really, like, injured myself in some ways. If I had felt like, "You're worthy of eight hours of sleep, not four; you're worthy of turning your phone off on a Saturday," I don't think it would have changed the outcome of the show. [But] I could have worked with a sense of joy and excitement, rather than guilt and anxiety of being "found out." The advice I would give any woman going into a job if she has a sense of impostor syndrome would be: There will be nothing if you don't look out for you. And I can't wait, on my next project, to go into it with the strength that comes from, like, valuing your own body and your own mental health. Jenni's like, "We'll believe it when we see it." [Laughter.] JENNI: OK, next question: What do you think it takes to succeed at this company? [Laughter.] Jemima.
JEMIMA: Communication, obviously. It is a workspace, but it's creative. Like, we're all putting so much of ourselves into this. And feelings do get hurt. You need communication. ZOSIA: In order to succeed, all you had to do was really show up prepared, and ready to be open and a part of the team. LENA: Gotta show up to play. ALLISON: And a willingness to thrust your ego aside and say yes. You guys said, "Jump," and I would say, "How high?" LENA: What it takes to succeed at the company? Bravery. Not just the bravery to do a scene that might be uncomfortable or to take your clothes off. But also the bravery to be like, "I have a question." To admit when you're not sure about something, so that we can come together and make it better. JENNI: Al, did your job duties turn out to be as you expected? ALLISON: I associated sets with a high-drama atmosphere. To my enormous relief, the cast was the source of almost zero drama, with the exception of one very abrupt departure [of actor Christopher Abbott, who played Williams' boyfriend Charlie] . JENNI: But we've healed. We've all healed. LENA: I text him all the time. And he texts back! Yeah. I feel the same thing as Al. I remember telling people we were doing the show, and they were like, "Who's on it?" And I was like, "It's all of our first job, and we're all 24." And everyone was like, "Good luck." [Laughter.] And I thought, at a certain point in the second season, I was gonna have to sit you girls down and be like, "Listen, bitches. You're lucky to have a job. So get it together and cut out this behavior!" Like, "If you're spotted out with Jared Leto one more time, this is done." [Laughter.] And then everyone was just nice. Jemima and I fought sometimes because we've been close since we were 11, and that's one of the things you do when you're family. JENNI: OK. Next question: Were you happy with your pay, benefits, and other incentives? [Laughter.] ZOSIA: This might be too dark. But being sort of an orphan child, without, like, parental figures, it was incredibly pleasant to be surrounded by human beings whose job on a daily basis was to take care of me. I was eating up that parental substitution love. JEMIMA: Benefits of being on the job? I'm not mad about a good table at a restaurant. Do you know I actually [pretended to be] my own publicist when I didn't have one? LENA: She did. And she would call for reservations and clothes. What did you say your name was? JEMIMA: I was just like, "Hey, I'm a publicist. I'm calling on behalf of one Jemima Kirke on HBO's Girls." [Laughter.] JENNI: Allison? ALLISON: Well, we were very well compensated, which was a real privilege. Putting aside the fact that it's nice to be well paid…it allowed me to be selective [with other projects] and thus much more creatively fulfilled. LENA: There are a lot of shows where the dudes make a lot more f-cking money than the girls. And we were on a show where the girls were The Thing. JENNI: And they got paid for being The Thing. What do you think your favorite memory will be at this company? Jemima. JEMIMA: My best day was the day that I experienced what it's like to be picked up [in the air] by Adam Driver. [Laughter.] LENA: I like it too. Adam Driver cradled me like a motherf-cking baby for, like, eight takes, and I won't lie, it felt good. JEMIMA: You know the big thing that you jump over in gymnastics? JENNI: The vault. JEMIMA: That's Adam Driver. [Laughter.] Like, you can just run and jump on it. It doesn't move, and it supports you fully. LENA: It's like a hot-ass future-Oscar-winning vault. I'm glad we live in a world where women can reduce men to vaults….I also didn't mind being laid across, like, a satiny (continued on page 126)

New Girls
This issue is a celebration of creative women! Now cover star Lena Dunham and co-conspirator Jenni Konner have a few nominees of their own.
s a duo, we take inspiration from many sources: soapy network dramas, large bowls of pasta served after midnight, the perfect pair of white sneakers, neon signs. But our biggest joy is to learn about—and exult in—the hard work of other women. Here are nine such
forces whose contributions to the arts, advocacy, and the written word embolden us on a daily basis. We are thrilled to share these ladies with you—and now to have a glossy collage of them to pin to our office walls. (Not sorry. Heroine worship is a healthy part of one's day.) —Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner
Reina Gossett The fearless 33-year-old LGBTQ advocate, artist, and grassroots organizer finds hope in the perseverance of the human spirit. Why do you do what you do? Being around so much violence, as a community organizer and a disabled black trans woman, left me burned out and desirous of other ways to change the world. How do you do what you do? My work as a writer and an emerging filmmaker focuses on bringing the people who are in the background to the foreground. What's your favorite part of being you? As Miss Major—my friend, mentor, and a black trans woman elder—likes to say, "I'm still fucking here!" I can't overstate the importance of still being here.
Greta Lee
We've been obsessed with the Inside Amy Schumer star and comedy writer, 33, since Lena saw her onstage in 2012. Why do you do what you do? I started to write in earnest because I was tired of feeling underwhelmed by the roles available to women of color. How do you do what you do? I try to learn a new trade between jobs and sometimes on the job. Joanna Lumley—international treasure and Patsy from Ab Fab—taught me to crochet while we were in a play together. I find that working with my hands counteracts the overly inward-gazing aspect of acting. What's your favorite part of being you?My outsize confidence. 108 glamour.com
Jenny Zhang The Brooklyn poet, 33, is as serious about rompers as she is about rethinking our image of Asian American women. Why do you do what you do? Because, at its finest, writing is a protective barrier against a sometimes-bleak reality. How do you do what you do? Lately I've been writing stories on my phone to trick myself into thinking they're "just notes." The real work is editing. What's your favorite part of being you? Anyone who holds on to idealism in today's society is lucky. I'm very lucky.
Jowita Bydlowska The 39-year-old Toronto author of Drunk Mom—an eviscerating memoir of motherhood—isn't afraid to get uncomfortably intimate. (And we say this as the creators of Girls!) Why do you do what you do? It's immensely satisfying to know that people relate to some of the things I write about, like mental health. How do you do what you do? I listen and watch and tell myself stories about what I hear and see. That's how I end up with fiction…and occasionally good texting banter. What's your favorite part of being you? Being a mom to my son, Hugo. He keeps me relatively sane.
The staff of Lenny Letter We're biased, but we think the team behind our weekly newsletter—Jessica Grose, 34, Laia Garcia, 32, Dianca London Potts, 29, and Kaitlyn Greenidge, 35—is the smartest in the biz.
Why do you do what you do? We do what we do to dismantle the patriarchy, to inform and entertain readers, and to make talking about your UTI socially acceptable in all situations. How do you do what you do? With a lot of text messages, Google docs, and inappropriate emoji. What's your favorite part of your work? We are always proud to be our flawed, funny, feminist selves, and we accept you just as you are.
Jowita cartwheeling in Nova Scotia
Joy Bryant Sure, she was our favorite part of Parenthood, but we fell even harder when the 42-year-old actress wrote her viral manifesto, "Stop Telling Me I Should Have Kids." Why do you do what you do? Because life is too damn short not to. I never want to say I coulda, shoulda, woulda. How do you do what you do? By surrounding myself with smart people I respect and trust. I also look for inspiration from women like Erykah Badu, artist Jill Knox, and former lawyer Eleanor Holmes Norton, on whom my character in the Amazon series Good Girls Revolt was based. What's your favorite part of being you? My name, Joy. It's a tough one to live up to, but somebody's gotta do it. glamour.com 109

JH: I've always had weird hair, and it's never looked good. KV: So wrong! All I do is add dry shampoo—it gives it body. JH: It's funny when guys don't like to talk about makeup.

JH: None of us are George Clooney and get to just put some dirt on our face.

"I surround myself with strong women like Barbara." —Edgar Ramirez

"We speak about anything without people knowing what we are saying," says Guillaume of their nearly three years together. Here, they go on the record. GLAMOUR: Barbara, what kind of prep goes into a day with Edgar? BARBARA GUILLAUME: If you put too many products and tools out,
male clients get scared! Moisturizer, eyedrops, antishine, concealer, powder mixed with a little bronzer, and lip balm—that's it. GLAMOUR: Edgar, what grooming do you do on your own? EDGAR RAMIREZ: My father was a military man, so my nails need to be clipped. When you give someone your hand, it needs to be clean. GLAMOUR: Edgar, why did you get involved with #HeForShe?

taz Lindes has a thing for the past. Ask her about her favorite music and you'll get a mini lesson in the history of rock 'n' roll. "There was this dirty-rock thing before The Beatles were around," she explains. "And I love that Nirvana was able to emulate heavy metal and make it pop-y."

We discuss her band, The Paranoyds, her vintage-beauty inspiration, and her treasured fashion pieces here. G L AMOUR: You're British and American. How have your roots influenced your look? STAZ LINDES: I'm drawn toward clothing that emulates what I wore as a kid. My mom's English and has amazing style. Twiggy crocheted some things for her—I have this lime green little jacket—and my dad [Hal Lindes, former guitarist for Dire Straits] had some sick stuff. There's this amazing Mossimo shirt of his with Elvis' face all over it. GLAMOUR: What are your early music memories? SL: I started developing my own tastes when I was eight or nine.

I was into the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child, but then I got a cool babysitter and discovered No Doubt. From then on, I knew I wanted to be whatever punk was. There was something about seeing Gwen Stefani, a hot tomboy with all the dudes, just killing it and doing push-ups onstage. She changed my life. GLAMOUR: Your stage makeup is pretty awesome. Who are your beauty icons? SL: I think the way Debbie Harry dresses and looks is so amazing. I love a lot of men: Johnny Rotten [from the Sex Pistols], Kurt Cobain, Poison Ivy from The Cramps. I'll do a full lid to the eyebrow in either green, purple, pink, orange—the loudest colors—and a full cat eye and lipstick. And we've been into painting our faces green, like Miss Argentina from Beetlejuice. She looked so good with green skin and pink hair. GLAMOUR: Any makeup tips you've picked up over the years? SL: I run my hairbrush over my brow pencil to smudge it a bit. And that same babysitter taught me how to do a cat eye. She called them angel wings. You have to follow the corner of your eye and exaggerate. YSL has a really thick crayon [YSL Couture Kajal Eye Pencil, $35, yslbeautyus.com] that I like.

Cover / In Girls We Trust (continued from page 105) bed by Patrick Wilson while he stared at me like I was like a queen from heaven. Like, I'm not immune to that shit. But my best memory—I hope this isn't too personal, Jenni—it was on our last episode. You and I got in a small argument. Went in a room. And we managed to cry, apologize, and work it out within three minutes, then go back to work. JENNI: And then everyone outside was like, "We heard you got in a huge fight." LENA: Huge fight! But I was so proud. I saw the seven years of hard work we put into [perfecting our communication], because we f-cking super-processed. ZO S I A: Not to be dark and Wednesday Addams again, but my last day, which was also Jemima's last day, hit so hard: the tidal wave of true sadness. But in the weirdest way, it's such a happy memory. Before the age of 30, I got to spend six years on such a joyous experience that it caused that type of grief at its funeral. LENA: If you're sad, Zosia's an amazing person to text for a quote. I was having issues with the loss of a relationship, and she texted me, "We may be soulmates for life, or only a train ride. But it just changes your life no matter what." Zosia is Oprah. JENNI: Last question: Would you work for this company in the future? JEMIMA: That's like if someone asked me, "Would you like to go back to college?" Of course I would. 'Cause I would finally do it right. So yes, I would do it all over again. ALLISON: I would 100 percent come back, because—one, I'm spoiled by the scripts. To start your career with these scripts is a weird albatross. Every time I read a script by anyone else, I'm like, "Oh, come on. This is not good." I will always trust your judgment as a show-running operation. ZOSIA: So often you work on another project and there's that feeling of, like, "I think it's gonna be good, and I hope that they want to cut together my scene in a pleasant way." But there isn't just innate, intrinsic trust that exists of, like, "Oh, no matter what happens on set, even if we all vomited, we would still make a good show." LENA: And sometimes we did vomit. ZOSIA: We were allowed to grow. Not only as ourselves but as characters. And if I got to do that for the rest of my life, I would die a happy woman.

14 Totally Legit Expectations in Love By Kimberly Bonnell & Pamela Redmond Satran
That your partner will be able to read your mind. Not all the time. But when you need a dish of caramel swirl (with side of cookie) and the kitchen is sooo far from the couch. Then. That laundry, lawn mowing, and other household jobs won't be divided along traditional gender lines. Except maybe when rodents are involved.
That your partner will understand that you and your vibrator were happy together before you two met and you intend to maintain that relationship…
itto all fri …d en
. hips ds That your weird college roommate is quirky and hilarious, but his is definitely a sociopath.
That your S.O. will understand that your family is the best. Also the worst. Sometimes in the same hour. Doesn't need to be a reason.
That there will be swooning! Odes, poetic tributes! THIS IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK.
That your first baby will be a girl and her name will be Eliza, after Eliza Hamilton, duh.
That foot rubs fix everything. That a party conversation with a hot-AF woman should include a mention of you within 20 seconds. (And should include the actual you in under a minute.)
That you will kiss good night, even when you're wearing your night guard.

That he'll listen. Just listen. Fixing mostly not required.
That your beloved should text no fewer than two times a day, no more than…nah, limitless!
