Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Valentina Zarya (@valzarya) here. Beyoncé wins the Super Bowl, Jessica Alba’s company may be going public, and two feminist icons have harsh words for female Bernie Sanders supporters. Have a fantastic Monday.
EVERYONE'S TALKING
• Beyoncé owns the Bowl. During Sunday's Super Bowl half-time show, Beyoncé stole the show from headliner Coldplay. The focal point of her performance was her politically charged new song, "Formation," which went straight to No. 1. on music charts as soon as it was released on Saturday. Among other things, the song is, as New York Times columnist Jenna Wortham puts it, a call to action: “Black women, join me and make your own formation, a power structure that doesn’t rely on traditional institutions.”
ALSO IN THE HEADLINES
• Helping Hillary? Two feminist icons had some harsh words for young women this weekend. “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other,” said Madeleine Albright, the first female U.S. Secretary of State, while introducing Hillary Clinton at a rally on Saturday. That same day, feminist icon Gloria Steinem asserted that young women prefer Bernie Sanders to Clinton because “the boys are with Bernie." Steinem later apologized on her Facebook page for "implying young women aren't serious in their politics." Fortune
• An Honest IPO? Jessica Alba’s e-commerce startup, Honest Co., is reportedly working with investment banks Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs on an initial public offering. Fortune
• That's good style. Archel Bernard is a 27-year-old Georgia Tech graduate making a difference in both fashion and the lives of those in her native Liberia. Last month she opened Bombchel Factory, which produces modern versions of West African clothing and employs Ebola survivors who would normally be stigmatized and unable to find work. New York Times
• Biopharma feud. Two pharma execs wrote an open letter describing the sexism that women endure in their industry, and calling for an end to men treating women "as chattel." Over 230 industry bigwigs have signed it. Fortune
• Clinton kid no more. Senior Politico writer Jack Shafer argues that it's time for the media to start treating Chelsea Clinton like the powerful political operative that she is, rather than as an off-limits White House kid who "mostly she exists to grace the covers of magazines." Politico
MOVERS AND SHAKERS: Lynn Tilton, CEO of Patriarch Partners, is stepping down as collateral manager of all her credit funds—totaling more than $2 billion—amid a drawn-out legal fight with New York bond insurer MBIA. Phoebe Philo, creative director of French fashion house Céline, is leaving the company.
