MUST- READS

-

In honour of Internatio­nal Women’s Day on March 8, we’ve dedicated this issue to exploring what it means to be a feminist today. Don’t miss the thoughtful piece by Antonia Zerbisias—who co-created the

hashtag #BeenRaped Never Reported— on feminism’s online renaissanc­e (page 128)

and Clara Young’s essay on why feminism is suddenly trendy (page 70). If there’s any doubt in your mind that women continue to face unimaginab­le cruelties and profound injustices, read Susan McClelland’s piece on Reyhaneh Jabbari (page 234). This Iranian woman was hanged for murdering a man whom she accused of attempting to rape her. McClelland presents excerpts from some of the letters Jabbari wrote from prison

before her death.
