The Big Issue: Who you gonna call?

This edition of the Big Issue shows us an image of 4 women in the roles of the famous “Ghostbusters”. Ghostbusters is a movie about 4 guys who have invented backpacks that trap evil ghosts, saving the day and depicting them as the heroes of the story.
In this cover we can see that all 4 women playing the ghostbusters are famous and all avid feminist activists, they are: Hillary Clinton, Theresa May, Taylor Swift and Serena Williams.
The 4 women on the cover have all done some exceptionally good work in their lives.
Hillary Clinton, the wife of Bill Clinton who became president in 1992, making her the first lady of the United States.
She herself also ran for US president in 2016, however lost to the current president, Donald Trump.
Serena Williams is one of the best tennis players in the world, competing multiple times in the olympics and winning the 2012 olympics gold medal.

Theresa may is the current UK prime minister and also the leader of the conservative party and has been the home secretary since 2010.
Taylor Swift is one of the most influential current pop artists alive, she has milions upon milions of listeners worldwide.
The cover also features a ghost who seems to be a familiar face, Donald Trump who is a constant target for the feminist movement and the overall left side of the political spectrum.
There is an obvious nod to women standing up for themselves to face opression and inequality, which has been shown in the form of Trump, an unoriginal and washed up concept but the central theme of the issue no less.
In conclusion the conver of this issue of the magazine focuses on feminism and how women like the 4 on the cover are working towards changing the world and making it an equal place where women are equal to men.
