ON MAY 25 I REFRESHED MY NEWS FEED frantically to find out the results of an historic election in my home country of Ireland. Then there it was: The electorate had overwhelmingly voted to repeal the Eighth Amendment, decriminalizing abortion there. I screamed with joy and pride. Flash-forward one month. Our team here was working on our September issue, themed This Time It’s Personal, because we had seen so many women step up to protest, to vote or volunteer in special elections, to run for office themselves, all for reasons that are so intensely personal. The mood of the country had clearly shifted—this midterm season isn’t about politics as usual; it’s about how politics affects each of our lives in deeply intimate ways. Then, on June 27, just as we…

BATSHEVA HAY KNOWS HER DESIGNS INSPIRE a strong reaction. The prairie-style dresses, some with matching bonnet, might best be described as the stuff of a Laura Ingalls Wilder fever dream. “Some people are like, ‘What is that?’ ” says the 37-year-old. “This one PR guy was totally trying to put me down, like, ‘Your dresses are old, they are like the official wardrobe of the Me Too movement!’ ” Hay laughs: “I was like, ‘Whatever!’ At least he feels strongly about it.” That IDGAF attitude is what her line, Batsheva, is all about. Before starting her label two years ago, Hay was a lawyer on the partner track at a Manhattan law firm. “My whole life I had been shy and studious. If someone criticized something I wrote, I’d be…

Metallic Pop Iridescent lids are a boss beauty move on any skin tone and incredibly easy to do IRL, says beauty editor Blake Newby, 23. “I love to sweep a lighter shade all over, then smoke it out on the edges.” To get her look, layer the highlighting shades from your compact—in this case lavender and ivory—to build a wash of bright, shimmering color. Newby added a finishing touch of amethyst into the outer corners for dimension. Choose Your Own Beauty Adventure This fall’s genius collaboration? The Lancôme x Proenza Schouler makeup collection. We love the Cold Chroma Eye Palette ($50, lancome-usa.com), which has everything from subtle neutrals to statement liners. We gave it to four women and let them create their own looks. Stunning! Flirty Flush Don’t leave the brightest shades of your…

Tennessee-born Nai’vasha Johnson’s breakthrough moment was styling Zendaya’s pixie for the 2015 Grammys. Now her versatile touch with everything from voluminous curls to box braids has made the 40-year-old one of the busiest stylists in showbiz. She’s a student of all things hair: Her home is scattered with mannequins that are subject to her every styling whim, and she spends days researching historical references and consulting runway reports for inspiration. “I continuously study trends and shapes,” she says. “Studying and practicing are the most important tools to sharpen my skills.” It’s good to stick up for what you want. “Clients are starting to put their foot down and say, ‘Listen, if you want me on your runway, then I need someone who understands my hair and my journey to be…

1 “Using your fingertips, massage a serum [try Neutrogena Hydro Boost Serum, $20, at drugstores] or oil into your face before applying makeup. The stimulation can help get the blood moving to wake up your whole complexion.”—MOLLY R. STERN, MAKEUP ARTIST TO CARA DELEVINGNE 2. “When my complexion looks dull after a long flight or late night, I use the ZIIP device [$495, ziipbeauty.com], which delivers electric currents into the skin. Twelve minutes leaves my face luminous and much firmer.”—APRIL LONG, BEAUTY EDITOR 3 “Hanging my head upside down for three minutes a day is my long-term strategy for getting that lit-from-within glow.”—RENEE ROULEAU, AUSTIN-BASED AESTHETICIAN 4 “The Själ Kashmir Saphir Perfecting Mask [$150, sjal skincare.com] is unreal! It’s my jet lag antidote, or for when I want my skin…

THERE WE WERE, EIGHT MONTHS AFTER OUR FIRST DATE, driving to my boyfriend’s family’s country house for a weeklong visit. We were like the interracial couple in Get Out: I was a young black woman, riding in my boyfriend’s Prius to one of the whitest states in America, not knowing what to expect. I had read countless articles on dating across racial lines, and many more about class, but not much is out there about the intersection of the two. I was nervous about meeting his family for the first time, but as a woman of color with middle-class roots, I also worried how I would fit in with folks who were not just white but upper-class with Harvard Ph.D.s. I imagined being alone in the dark woods of Maine…

“Over time this blue square on the map turned red. It’s now Trump Country.”—ELIZA GRISWOLD, JOURNALIST AND AUTHOR OF AMITY AND PROSPERITY I SPENT SEVEN YEARS REPORTING in Washington County, Pennsylvania, which lies at the southwestern corner of the state, where Appalachia is. This is a place where both Democrats and Republicans have deeply disappointed so many people that it’s hard to draw clear partisan lines. Historically, this land of coal mines and steel mills was heavily Democratic. Workers belonged to labor unions, which voted solid blue. The people, however, tended to be conservative on social issues. So over time this blue square on the map turned red. It’s now Trump Country, where voters cast their ballots for the President by a margin of nearly two to one. After the…

IN 2016, 56 PERCENT OF undergraduate students nation-wide were female. Women had heard the call: To excel, enroll. But with record matriculation rates has come something else—record debt. Women are now responsible for two thirds of student loan debt in the United States, according to the American Association of University Women (AAUW). By next year the amount women will need to pay back is estimated to total one trillion dollars, with the average female borrower owing around $21,000 after graduation. That’s a colossal sum, and it’s roughly $2,700 more than her average male counterpart owes, according to the AAUW. What gives? For one, the wage gap. Women tend to earn less for their work even before school, which means they need more money than men do to finance higher education.…

1&2 A PAIR OF MUSICAL BLOCKBUSTERS It’s a battle of the bands! Two of fall’s most anticipated films are Bohemian Rhapsody (November 2), with Rami Malek as Queen front man Freddie Mercury, and Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s rock-country revival of A Star Is Born (October 5). Who will win? It’ll be close, but our money’s on Mr. Malek. 3, 4, 5 A FEW FEEL-GOOD NOVELS Sometimes to get through the toughest moments in your life, you need an unlikely ally. These novels prove just how essential that is. In Vanessa Hua’s touching A River of Stars, two polar opposites break out of a home for unwed mothers. Though they are near strangers, their gumption and optimism help them set up a new life in San Francisco. In The Air You Breathe,…

The Media Exec LILLY WORKNEH, 27 HER DAY: As editor-in-chief of blavity.com, an L.A.-based news site for black millennials, Workneh spends most of her days assigning and editing articles. By night, she meets with potential investors and speaks on industry panels. HER LOOK: “There’s no ‘expected attire’ in media,” Workneh says, so she keeps things pulled together with fitted tops and long skirts or skinny jeans with structured tops. For nighttime events she likes a body-con midi dress with chunky heels. The Doctor MARY L. STEVENSON, M.D., 34 HER DAY: Stevenson, a dermatologic surgeon and cosmetic dermatologist with NYU’s Langone Health in New York City, starts many days in the operating room removing skin cancers. In the afternoon she sees more patients. HER LOOK: Outside of surgery (where it’s strictly…

NOT SO LONG AGO, RED-CARPET HAIR MEANT LONG, STRAIGHT, and shiny—no matter what your natural texture. But as Hollywood (finally!) grows more diverse, and stars like Janelle Monáe and Kerry Washington make it a point to show off creative styles that run the gamut from jewel-encrusted waves to teased-out Afros and intricate braids, we’re seeing individual flair become the norm rather than the exception. Meet four top hairstylists who have been instrumental in bringing about that major change.…

Just like the musicians she styles, Nikki Nelms has got range—you’ll see her create everything from Bardot-inspired bouffants to Afro puffs adorned with rolling googly eyes on her clients. Safety pins, earrings, foliage, and pom-poms are all fair game for her hair art. And whether it’s seashell-adorned braids on Solange Knowles or a platinum blond pixie on Zoë Kravitz, Nelms’ looks are always eye-catchingly cool, and her influence trickles down to the masses. “Celebrities should lead the way and make people at home think, I want to do that,” she says. Think outside the box. “Using things that have nothing to do with hair make [any style] more interesting. I’m always pushing myself to be unconventional. Sometimes I don’t even have things in my kit because it forces me to…

Forget brushes—these sumptuous creams are best dabbed, smudged, and swiped on freehand:…

IF DANE FORST NEVER HAD TO WEAR A CONDOM again, he’d be a happy man. But the Portland, Oregon, graphic designer doesn’t want kids anytime soon and knows that his fiancée has had to carry the burden of their birth control for three and a half years. The lack of contraceptive options for men has left him frustrated, wondering, Why isn’t there an equivalent to the Pill for men? “My whole adult life I’ve had this kind of weird, power-less feeling” around preventing pregnancy, says Forst, 34. That’s why, for the past several years, he has not only tracked the development of a new male birth control—an injectable called Vasalgel that would temporarily prevent the release of sperm—but also donated money to researchers and offered to participate in clinical trials.…

YOU NEED DINNER, BUT YOU CAN’T bear to Seamless the same sad tacos again. The answer is a throw-it-together kind of meal that works with what you have on hand, no matter your cooking skills. Three celebs give you recipes to add to your repertoire. Consider dinner done. Gillian Jacobs To Dress Up Some Veggies “I can’t cook. Like, really, truly cannot cook. When I get hungry, I’ll eat whatever is left in my cabinet, like scoop after scoop of peanut butter. But straight-up vegetables are just as easy, so I occasionally try to make a salad. Thankfully chef Courtney Storer of Jon & Vinny’s in Los Angeles taught me a simple dressing that’s not only tasty but so easy even I mastered it the first time. Here’s how: Dice…

“After a century of dominance, coal is running out. Who will we become?” —CATHERINE MOORE, 36, WRITER AND PRODUCER, FAYETTE COUNTY IN 2010, I FLED A PH.D. PROGRAM in a city I hated and came home to my native West Virginia. Coming back here is often framed as failure, like you couldn’t “make it” on “the outside,” but I had to come back. It’s hard to put into words, the deep attachment I have to this panhandled, green-and-brown-souled, hard-edged, sweet-cored, open-sored, beauty-bound, conflicted piece of the country. I need it. I bought a house on one and a half acres on the rocky rim of the New R iver G orge. I’ve settled in and made my own friend-family of other “long-haulers.” We’re as committed to one another as we are…

32 PERCENT OF FLORIDIANS ARE ESTIMATED TO OWN GUNS. “If Florida passed a law saying everyone had to give up their guns, I’d move out of state.” —CHRISTINA CARLSON, 36, ACCOUNTANT AND MOM, GAINESVILLE I DIDN’T GROW UP IN A GUN household, but when I got older, a cop friend took me to a shooting range, and I enjoyed it. I took a course that taught me how to use guns properly and got my carry permit. Still, it wasn’t until I got married that I was truly around a lot of guns. My ex-husband was an avid gun and ammo collector. But in reality he never should have been able to have a gun. In April 2017, when we were living in Georgia, he went into a state of psychosis.…

Lacy Redway, 32, is one of the few women—not just women of color—in what is traditionally the boys’ club of high-fashion hairstylists. Having started out assisting runway and editorial greats like Guido Palau and Eugene Souleiman, she’s now outpacing them as the A-lister for everything from magazine covers to awards shows. “I like to do untraditional hairstyles on untraditional textures,” she says. “For example, doing a Marcel wave on natural hair, the way I did with Uzo Aduba [at the 2018 SAG Awards]. I love being able to educate everyone on black culture through my work and making people feel their most beautiful.” She knew early on this was her dream job. “I was the girl in middle school braiding everyone’s hair for $10. That’s how I got my start:…

Takisha Sturdivant-Drew, 42, has always been focused: She got her cosmetology license, landed a job in a Manhattan salon, and moved out on her own all before the age of 20. It was that same salon job that led to her first celebrity client, Kerry Washington, with whom she still works more than a decade later. And while she’s not afraid to tease coils to the max (google Washington’s Met Gala Afro) or play with butt-grazing platinum wigs (she has her own extensions line called TSD Hair), she also encourages her clients to maintain optimum hair health so they can effortlessly embrace their natural texture when they want to. “I’m always telling people things like: Put this product in your hair because it doesn’t have that much alcohol, use conditioner,…

I’M DONE TALKING ABOUT MY BODY. IN FACT, I’m done with anyone talking about their body because I’m drowning in thinspiration, fitspiration, fatspiration, body goals, and before and after pictures. I swear, if I see one more picture of a woman’s ass on social media, I’m going to scream. Our culture is obsessed with women’s appearances, and it’s holding us back. How many women do you know who spend more time and money than men on how they look? That’s money that could have been invested in our lives and businesses. We do these things because we think that to be considered attractive and worthy, we have to look ageless, be hairless, and have bodies that aren’t affected by gravity. This doesn’t feel right. I’ve talked to women who have…

LITTLE-KNOWN FACT: Henry Golding, 31, basically landed the starring role in Crazy Rich Asians, the big-screen adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s best-selling 2013 novel, because he made an unforgettable impression…on an accountant. The film marks not only Golding’s acting debut but also Hollywood’s first all-Asian cast in 25 years (yes, really). Here’s how the former hairstylist turned TV host won the role of ultra-wealthy Nick Young, and how he’s changing the representation game in the process. Crazy Rich Asians is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and it’s your first role…ever. How does that even happen? My background is in broadcast television—I used to be a travel host for BBC, Discovery, and National Geographic. The filmmakers were literally at the eleventh hour trying to find an appropriate Nick…

“I hear about how the schools are…all the time.”—JESSICA D’AMBROSIO, 36, MOM AND TEACHER, MARICOPA COUNTY ARIZONA’S POLITICS HAVE LONG BEEN AS BLAZING hot as its summers (see: former sheriff Joe Arpaio; Trump’s proposed border wall). But Pamela Hughes, a talk radio host at KTAR-FM in Phoenix, is thinking about the billboards she’s seen—the ones Texas is using to poach teachers from the Grand Canyon State, where there’s already a shortage—and the mass protests that drove thousands of educators, parents, and supporters into the streets this past spring. Come November, Hughes says, “I think that in Arizona what is going to motivate women in particular who maybe haven’t voted in a midterm election—or heck, maybe didn’t even vote in the last presidential election—is going to be education.” Hughes’ job has…

“I take two steps forward to take three steps back. It shouldn’t be that hard.” —SARAH BROWN, 42, BEAUTY SALON OWNER, COLUMBIA I’VE ALWAYS LIKED TO DO HAIR—EVER SINCE I WAS A kid. In 1994, I graduated from high school and ended up getting pregnant that summer, so I knew I wouldn’t be able to go to college. I went to cosmetology school and eventually opened my own salon. The job is hard. A lot of times the women who come in come to confide. We’re worried for our children, their education, their job opportunities. A lot of kids drop out of school, so where does that leave them? If people can’t get a job, they can’t make money, and if they can’t make money, then they resort to crime. It’s…

ON AUGUST 12, 2017, A COMMUNITY organizer from North Carolina named Heather Redding drove to Charlottesville, Virginia, to protest the white nationalist jamboree known as Unite the Right. Redding, then 39, was already involved in a push to remove Confederate imagery from her kids’ school district and supported city leaders who had voted to take a statue of Robert E. Lee out of a public park. She felt even more strongly that the white nationalists who were fighting to keep it needed to be shouted down, and she came with a sign that read, “I’d hate to see the world through your eyes.” What Redding didn’t expect was that it would be so hard for her to tell the supremacists from the counter-demonstrators. It was as if they’d all shopped…

What is your full name, and where does it come from? Ruby Rose Langenheim. My mom wanted to call me Katinka…but at the last minute called me Ruby. I don’t think Katinka would’ve been the right name for me. What’s your idea of true happiness? Peace. If you can’t get peace, then dogs. Dogs help. If you could be anyone, real or fictional, who would you be? A Ninja Turtle. Leonardo, for sure. Donatello was a bit boring, Michelangelo didn’t do anything except order the pizza, and Raphael was too serious. Leonardo always just saved the day. What’s a headline about yourself you’d love to read? “Ruby Rose Reincarnates As Ninja Turtle!” If the apocalypse comes, what skill could you contribute to the new society? With all of the films…
