For this Power issue, we acknowledge the inspiring women who have empowered others by battling systemic misogyny and the targeted discrimination against those who don’t play by society’s rules. Our cover girl Faye DSouza has been working tirelessly to restore the balance in national news coverage. Whether it’s confronting toxic masculinity on live television, or changing the discourse around women’s rights, she has dignifiedly risen through the ranks of the media to become a feminist hero. She sits in conversation with Sunny Leone — another example of self-made success and beating the odds — who has also refused to buckle under the weight of the country’s hypocritical gender dynamics. Curated and written by an all-women team featuring the most inspiring women in the country, this issue is now available on stands.
