Now what?
That’s what feminists have been wondering since we lost the bright promise of a Kamala Harris presidency on Nov. 5.
We asked Ms. contributing editor Carrie Baker to point the way. For the upcoming issue, she spoke to some of the many leaders and organizations preparing to safeguard decades of hard-fought gains for women and girls, now threatened by the Trump administration and its Project 2025. What she uncovered is a fierce resistance ready to defend our rights at the federal level—and creatively expand equality protections in the states.
Here’s what else you’ll find in our Winter 2025 issue:
- The abortion battle in Beverly Hills. Investigative reporter Amanda Robb looks into the network of extremists who conspired with the city of Beverly Hills to prevent a critical new abortion clinic from opening. The California Attorney General Rob Bonta already has secured a judgment against the city for violating the state’s Constitution and Reproductive Privacy Act. Ms. looks ahead to the next step bringing the extremists to account.
- Afghan filmmaker Sahra Mani speaks with Ms. about her new film, Bread & Roses (now out on Apple TV+), comprised of videos taken by women in Kabul on their own phones, at great risk—revealing a fierce Afghan resistance to the Taliban’s cruel gender apartheid edicts, yet that’s virtually unknown to the outside world.
- Feminists incoming! Meet the new progressive women—three senators and 16 representatives—joining the front lines in the U.S. Congress. They are experienced and driven, and dedicated to protecting the rights of women.
- And so much more.
