Here’s a glimpse at what else you’ll find inside the upcoming winter issue:
An examination of how the backlash against feminist progress in the U.S. is actually part of a larger, global trend. Authors Zoe Marks and Erica Chenoweth make the case that free and empowered women are a threat to authoritarianism worldwide—and the autocrats know it. When the fate of women’s rights is tied to the fate of democracy — and when both are in dire straits — how can we help secure both?
A conversation with two Afghan women leaders—one who chose to stay, and one who chose to leave—in the wake of their country’s fall to Taliban rule. “A life abroad is not something I am looking for,” says Fawzia Koofi, who fled Afghanistan last year. “Every day I’m with hope that tomorrow I will hear something positive and encouraging, so that I [can] go back.”
And, we pay tribute to Harriet Tubman on the 200th anniversary of her birth — with our series celebrating her legacy as a liberator, abolitionist, diviner, healer, nurse, naturalist, freedom fighter, military raid leader, spy, scout, suffragist, daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, friend, and national icon.
