Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I'm not a feminist but ... She magazine has devoted its May Big Issue feature to the search for a new, positive image for that dirty Nineties word feminism. It asked three advertising agencies to devise a strategy to relaunch the concept. BDDH drew up a parody of a women's magazine questionnaire, while the Chelsea Partnership homed in on discrimination. In contrast, TBWA, whose recent campaign for Wonderbra caused considerable controversy, drew up the shock image shown below.
"Many people believe feminists are all terribly macho with very short haircuts and that, although they disapprove of men's behaviour, they still aspire to be like them," it says. She's editor, Linda Kelsey, says she felt uncertain about this ad, thinking it would offend more people than it would win over.
