Naomi Wolf has a girl-crush on Angelina Jolie, and in her essay printed in Harper’s Bazaar July 2009 issue, she argues that the rest of us do, too.
Wolf, perhaps most famous for her book The Beauty Myth, argues in this article that Jolie brings together every aspect of female empowerment and liberation.
This is the first piece I’ve read by Wolf in quite some time and found it quite interesting, especially contrasting it to her beliefs articulated in The Beauty Myth. In fact, if you still have the July issue of Harper’s Bazaar kicking around, or wish to check it out online, it is well worth a good look. Not only is there the Angelina Jolie essay, but the whole issue has a chic, female empowerment vibe to it:
The editorial spread, Fashion Takes Flight, is Amelia Earhart-inpsired. There is an excellent piece on Ovarian Cancer. And the fashion editorial, Mr. Big Gets Downsized, shows model Milla Jovovich as a stylish, successful bread-winner and actor Chris Noth as a frazzled stay-at-home Dad.
