Editor in Chief Michelle Lee opens the July issue with some words on reclaiming your power.
At one time not too long ago, the image of power was almost entirely masculine. The power suit mimicked the broad shoulders of a man. A lower voice was deemed more powerful . Even the long-standing language of power had been decidedly male: “be a man,” “grow a pair” .
But this year, we’ve seen women claiming — and reclaiming — their power in lots of exciting ways, which is why we’re celebrating their voices in the feature “America the Beautiful." It’s a fitting tribute in this issue, which is dedicated to American beauty. Power is having the strength to persevere against the tide. It’s believing in yourself when others call for backup. It’s the power to sue for equal pay , to thrive with a disability , to fight voter suppression , to be the picture of calm professionalism in the face of a man who seemed unhinged .
This month’s cover star, Ashley Graham, certainly exemplifies that strength. In a short time, she’s redefined our culture’s image of a model. She’s shown that true power is not simply being seen as one of the world’s most successful models — it’s shifting the entire paradigm, changing the definition of “supermodel” to something that needs no size labels .
Power is getting to be fully, truly yourself. It’s fighting for your own place in the world, then keeping the door open for others. And there’s nothing more American than that.
