And no one has faced its brave new landscape more head on than our eleven honorees for 2018—the twenty-fifth anniversary of Women in Hollywood. . To start, #LadyGaga, the ever-outspoken singer-turned-actress currently selling out theatres in #AStarIsBorn; @YaraShahidi, who at 18 is a leading voice for social justice; the fearless @CharlizeAfrica; and the powerful writer/producer @ShondaRhimes, who recently signed a multimillion-dollar megadeal with Netflix. .

To say there’s been a paradigm shift in the entertainment industry in the past year would be an understatement. And no one has faced its brave new landscape more head on than our eleven honorees for 2018—the twenty-fifth anniversary of Women in Hollywood. . “Change is hard for everyone,” says @mssarahcatharinepaulson, regarding the gradual progress made in the wake of #MeToo, Time’s Up, and the movement to get more female story- tellers behind and in front of the camera. This theme emerges again and again in our November issue, from our Black Panther cast spot-light featuring @LupitaNyongo—who went from penning a powerful New York Times op-ed about a disturbing encounter with Harvey Weinstein to storming the box office alongside fellow Wakanda women of #BlackPanther @im.AngelaBassett and @DanaiGurira, to our poignant sit down with @realMiaFarrow, who has faced as many indignities at the hands of men as hard-fought triumphs, and whose son @RonanFarrow’s reporting has played a pivotal role in righting so many long-simmering wrongs. Rounding out our covers: the staunch equal-pay advocate #KeiraKnightley. .

Lady Gaga

#LadyGaga opens up about insecurities, #AStarIsBorn, and much more in the #ELLEWIH issue. Link in bio for her full cover story, but here's a tidbit about Gaga's first time on set with #BradleyCooper: . "I will never forget the first scene we did together in this Mexican restaurant. Bradley got some tacos and brought them to the table. Then he said something to me, but it wasn’t what was in the script, and I didn’t know what to do, so I just said my line. Then he said something else, and I didn’t know what to do because I thought I was just supposed to be saying what was on the page. So I just said another line—the next line. Seeing that I wasn’t going off-script, he said, ‘Are you okay?,’ and I just started to cry.”—@LadyGaga .

Yara Shahidi

For @yarashahidi, this is what it means to be a woman in Hollywood in 2018: "There’s an intentional knowledge disparity in any industry, which is tied to the maintaining of power. I love the fact that this community of women is disintegrating that. I’ve been able to reap the benefits of it, and I’m also fortunate to have my parents with me, guiding me. This is a hobby, so I haven’t had to do this as something that my family and I depend on, which has helped alleviate pressures that many actors feel." .

Sarah Paulson

@mssarahcatharinepaulson on equal representation: “This movement can be misconstrued as ‘Hey, men, get out of the way.’ I just want a seat at the table where they’re all sitting, and have been for so long. I want a cushion—a cushy seat—and a sense that I have value and I’m allowed to stay." Link in bio for her full #ELLEWIH feature. .

Keira Knightley

#Colette star Keira Knightley on asking about her pay in relation to her male costars: “It didn’t even occur to me. It felt like something you couldn’t question. But I do ask now, and I can safely say that in my last two films, I have not made less than the men I’ve been working with.” Link in bio for her complete #ELLEWIH feature. .

Shonda Rhimes

@ShondaRhimes on her deal with Netflix: “I keep hearing about how I got lured away, as if somebody wagged a piece of candy in front of me. But really, it was me deciding I had a vision, and [Netflix’s chief content officer] Ted Sarandos shared that vision. I wanted to be able to decide what kind of shows we were going to make and how we were going to make them.” Link in bio for our full #ELLEWIH feature with the iconic showrunner. .

Charlize Theron

“I look at my two beautiful girls, and I have the worries that every other mother has. I want them to be safe and able to live their full potential. Whenever that feels threatened, I go a little psycho. I will kill for them. That’s gonna be used as evidence one day in court!” — Charlize Theron for #ELLEWIH. Link in bio for her entire feature. .

Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira and Angela Bassett

View this post on Instagram

#BlackPanther has entered the 2019 awards-season fray. There’s talk that the film deserves to be in contention for Best Picture. Whatever the outcome, it has succeeded where so many superhero movies have failed: It built a fairy-tale world with real stakes that was contemporary yet rooted in history and had women moving the story forward—at times, so much so that it felt like Wakanda was their world, and everyone else just lived in it. Link in bio for the full #ELLEWIH story on the Women of Wakanda—@LupitaNyongo, @DanaiGurira, and @im.AngelaBassett. .
