MAKING WAVES ‘THE SILENCE BREAKERS’

-

Time magazine named “The Silence Breakers” — women who triggered a #MeToo national outcry over sexual harassment — 2017’s Person of the Year. Time editor in chief Edward Felsenthal revealed the cover on Wednesday. It features Ashley Judd, Taylor Swift, former Uber engineer Susan Fowler, lobbyist Adama Iwu, strawberry picker Isabel Pascual (a pseudonym) and a woman whose face is obscured to represent those who haven’t yet come forward. “This is the fastest-moving social change we’ve seen in decades, and it began with individual acts of courage by hundreds of women, and some men, who came forward to tell their own stories of sexual harassment and assault,” Felsenthal said.
