The 2010s: The decade women fought back:
year is dubbed the “year of the woman,” in recent memory at least, but for good reason. The back half of the 2010s, a breathtaking, world-changing decade now less than two weeks away from its long-awaited end, was dominated by the resurgent political consciousness of marginalized groups, including women.
It’s visible in the work of journalist Gayle King, who has spent much of the last few years as the only adult in the room. Never cynical, never sniping, King’s interview with R. Kelly following the release of the damning was a profile in rectitude: she simply gave him space to self-destruct, and her composure in the face of his theatrics was courageous, yes, but critically, it was also studied and considered.
It’s visible in Greta Thunberg, who has become the most visible face of the global climate movement. Her emergence over the last year and a half has been startling; a sixteen-year-old Swedish girl captured the world’s attention with the crystal clarity of her message: that the people who are going to be the most affected by climate change are those without the power to do anything about it.
