Favorite articles from 2011

mostly off the top of my head.

“My Superpower Is Being Alone Forever,” Joe Berkowitz for The Awl

“The Rebirth of the Feminist Manifesto,” Emily Nassbaum for New York Magazine

Anything from the Dear Sugar column

“All the Single Ladies,” Kate Bolick for the Atlantic

“In Which We Teach You How To Be A Woman In Any Boys’ Club,” Molly Lambert for This Recording

“American Marvel,” Edith Zimmerman for GQ

“Chick Flicks,” Mindy Kaling for the New Yorker

“Shyness: Evolutionary Tactic,” Susan Cain for The New York Times

“Spotlighting the Work of Women In the Civil Rights Movement’s Freedom Rides,” Anna Holmes for the Washington Post

“Very Deep in America,” Lorrie Moore for The New York Review of Books. Because she is one of my favorite writers and I have a seriously unhealthy obsession with Friday Night Lights, but you need a subscription to read it so WHY AM I EVEN INCLUDING IT?

Jonathan Harris on web stories. This is from 2007 and it’s not even an article but I found it this year so whatever whatever.
