100 WOMEN WE LOVE 2008
Hats off to the 100 Women We Love, class of 2008 (in no particular order, ’cause we love ’em all!).
Beth Greenfield
Writer and editor Beth Greenfield specializes in both queer culture and travel writing. For the past five years, she has helmed the Gay & Lesbian section of Time Out New York, a mainstream events magazine, where she began as a features editor. Greenfield also writes for The New York Times, the guidebook publisher Lonely Planet, and is currently penning a memoir slated for 2010 publication. Greenfield excels in her unique position of queer editor at a mainstream magazine, but her work is not without its challenges. “The most challenging thing about working for mainstream publications is a general sexism that sometimes guides editorial decisions. I always speak my mind, but when I do I worry that people’s eyes will roll as they think, ‘ugh, here comes that righteous lesbian again!’” she admits. “But then I remember that one of the most important things in life is speaking up for what you believe in.” -KL
