First, it was Charles Lindbergh. Skip a few years to Franklin D. Roosevelt. 50 years later it was The Computer. 30 years after that, it was Barack Obama. If you haven\u2019t started to catch on, since 1927, Time Magazine has selected a person of the year that features and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that “for better or for worse\u2026 has done the most to influence the events of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
The selection began as an attempt to find a solution to the editorial embarrassment earlier that year of not having aviator Charles Lindbergh on its cover following his historic Trans-Atlantic flight. Ever since, Time Magazine has named a \u201cPerson of the Year,\u201d ranging from U.S. Presidents to women, and even to some controversial individuals such as Adolf Hitler and Nikita Khrushchev.
\nThis year, Time Magazine decided to name \u201cThe Silence Breakers\u201d as their Person of the Year.<\/p>\n
The Silence Breakers are the men and women who spoke out against sexual abuse and harassment, including the creators of the #MeToo movement. Time Magazine explains that \u201ceven though we feel like movie stars are nothing like you and me, we can actually relate to them in the most painful and personal way – through sexual assault experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Person of the Year shows the five faces of women who were some of the voices that launched a movement. These five women are Ashley Judd, Taylor Swift, Susan Fowler, Adama Iwu, and Isabel Pascual. Judd was one of the first women to speak out against Weinstein. Swift made a statement by sueing a DJ for just $1 for assaulting her during a photo shoot. Iwu is a 40-year old corporate lobbyist in Sacramento. Fowler is a former engineer for Ube and made allegations of sexual harassment at the company. Pascual is a 42-year old strawberry picker from Mexico who was brave enough to speak up about being stalked.<\/p>\n
One detail that some may have noticed about the cover is that a woman\u2019s arm is shown in the bottom right of the picture, with the rest of her body deliberately cut out of the photo. Time explained that she is faceless on the cover and remains nameless inside the magazine, as she represents \u201call those who are not yet able to come forward and reveal their identities.\u201d These five faces are the ones that helped start a revolution of men and women coming forward and speaking about sexual assault, and most importantly given justice.<\/p>\n
Time Magazine\u2019s editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal says that \u201cthis year\u2019s winners had helped to usher in the fastest-moving social change we\u2019ve seen in decades.\u201d It is because of these women, and so many more men and women speaking up, that others are able to find a voice and speak out against sexual assault.<\/p>\n
