Time Asia [US] September 18 2017 (単号)

　翌週が休刊にならないパターンのダブル・イシュー。いつもより厚いのをいつも通り一週間で読まなくてはならないのだけど、結局ちょっと遅れてしまった。

　特集は女性第一号。
　自身も女性である編集長 Nancy Gibbs は言う。

‘She broke the glass ceiling.’ What a jagged image we use for women who achieve greatly, defining accomplishment in terms of the barrier rather than the triumph. (p.48)

　ガラスの天井というのは、女性の昇進や成功を阻む見えない障害のようなもので、それを突破すればガラスの天井を突き破ったと常套的に言われる。しかし、女性の功績を障害の観点からしか評価しないのは、奇妙なことである。

　ヒラリー・クリントン。

This past election was unprecedented in so many ways: you had the unprecedented intervention by an FBI director, you had a foreign adversary successfully influence the election. You had voter suppression aimed primarily at African Americans and young voters. You had sexism, which was front and center.
I don’t want anyone to be discouraged by my defeat or say they shouldn’t try or support others who will try. We can’t give up trying.
The fight was worth it. (p.60)

　マデレーン・オルブライト。

We need to support each other in the lives that we have chosen. Men do not do that to each other, in terms of projecting their own ideas of weakness. Women need to take advantage of being women. (p.68)

　もちろん政治家だけにインタビューしたわけではない。
