This article that I found from The Huffington Post shows magazine covers of Women's History of the past 100 years. I love how the covers go from Marilyn Monroe and other sex symbols to more prominent issues of lesbian women (Ellen DeGeneres) transgender women (Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner), to women in politics (Hillary Clinton), Muslin women, black women (Michelle Obama) and women that were victims of sexual assault.
These issues for women on covers of magazines show that women and media are refusing for women to be on the underhand of society. Also, it is normalizing what is said to be 'unusual' such as being transgender or lesbian.
