"You can talk about sports in a boardroom--if you talk about fashion, it takes on a stigma. It's an insidious form of misogyny." - Audrey Gelman
This article, written by Lynn Yaeger, focuses on the 26-year-old politician Audrey Gelman. Audrey Gelman did work for Hillary Clinton back when she was running for president and she most recently acted as spokesperson for Scott Stringer during his NYC comptroller campaign, leaving her with quite the resume.
The thing that makes her so unique in comparison with other politicians is not only her young age or her tiny physique (she is a size 0 and 5 feet tall, but the fact that she has a passionate interest in fashion. She is the only female politician who can be found at a political boardroom meeting, and then later be sitting front row at a Chanel fashion show. She is living proof that this generation does not entirely live up to its lazy and self-absorbed stigma. She is a hardworking young woman who is done dreaming; she has already made her dreams come true.
