Feature The women fighting fake news From 5G conspiracy theories to vaccine fear mongering, Stylist meets the women battling the rising tide of misinformation words: hannah keegan When Marianna Spring, the BBC’s specialist disinformation reporter, first saw the picture of a 30-something woman, Patricia, holding her foot to the camera, inflamed with sores and pus oozing at the heel, it wasn’t the visual that concerned her but the context. “It appeared on the Twitter feed of a notorious conspiracy influencer in the UK in December, and I immediately thought, ‘Oh god’,” she says. The post claimed that Patricia’s participation in a Covid-19 vaccine trial had caused her injuries. “She hasn’t been able to walk or go to work for almost three weeks now because of huge bleeding sores on her…

Interview “I had a hard time carving out quiet for myself” Yaa Gyasi’s second novel, Transcendent Kingdom, is one of 2021’s most hotly anticipated releases. Paula Akpan speaks to the groundbreaking author When Yaa Gyasi’s debut novel, Homegoing, was published in 2016, it set the literary world ablaze – it was a book that I devoured within days, consciously slowing down as I reached the last few pages, not wanting it to end. Tracing 300 years of history across Ghana and America, Gyasi demonstrated a stunning command of language and the way it can be used to interrogate questions of identity, heritage and legacies of trauma.

Feature In praise of the power nap Stylist explores how an afternoon snooze could be the secret to WFH productivity Words: Hannah Keegan There was a rumour that shook Westminster recently. Maybe you heard it. Maybe you raised an eyebrow. Word on the street was that at some point each day, Boris Johnson, was slipping away, resting his head on a pillow in Number 10, and falling asleep. Yes, the Prime Minister was napping on the job. There was outrage, a response was warranted. “His schedule is jam-packed. There is no gap for anything like that,” said press secretary Allegra Stratton. But if Boris does take a sneaky daytime kip, he’s not the only one: media mogul Arianna Huffington takes tactical naps, so did former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. So…

beauty The Mascara Stress Test With a burst of do-it-all mascaras launching, Stylist’s beauty editor Lucy Partington puts them to the lockdown test photography: ANTONIO TERRON If there’s one thing I’m constantly asked about, it’s mascara. Everybody loves a good mascara recommendation – and despite the fact there are literally thousands in existence (probably), as a beauty editor I am still yet to find my own go-to. I want volume, separation and lift but sometimes I wonder if all three is simply too much to ask for. It’s also why I really wanted to try out the raft of impressive-sounding new launches, from that viral Maybelline one to the first new mascara from Benefit in three years.
