I am sitting in my therapist’s office. Long after my first women’s studies course, after learning the basic tenets of feminist critique, I hear myself say the words, “I mean, I really shouldn’t have had so much to drink. I should have known better than to get into his car. It was partly my fault for being so stupid.” She interrupts me: “It wasn’t your fault, Michael.” The exchange is so clichéd. Bad dialogue from an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

In 1969, the Washington Post was the first major American newspaper to replace its women’s pages with a lifestyle section. Introducing the Style section was one of the most lasting legacies of famed Post editor Ben Bradlee. As he later described the launch of Style, “We wanted to look at the culture of America as it was changing in front of our eyes. The sexual revolution, the drug culture, the women’s movement. And we wanted to be interesting, exciting, different.”¹
