August-Issue

ELLE’s August issue with Marion Cotillard on the cover celebrates women with a 22-page Female Factor report PLUS a gallery of 50 amazing women between the ages of 10 and 90. The Female Factor report includes highlights from the online survey conducted last year as well as thoughtful writing from 10 women on topics ranging from sisterhood to authenticity. This is style and substance in action!

Each copy also comes with a free ELLE Female Factor badge to wear on Women’s Day – and all the other days you want to signal your solidarity with South African women. Now we want to hear from you! There are five different badges, each with an inspiring quote. Tell us which badge you got with your copy, and two lucky online readers stand the chance to win a copy of And Then Life Happens – A Memoir by Auma Obama, featured in an exclusive extract in our June issue. Comments below, please!

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. CONGRATS TO OUR READERS: Nkhensani Manabe and Samkelisiwe Mhlongo. We’ll be in touch shortly!

Nkhensani Manabe on 7/21/2012: I have long since given up waiting until the beginning of the new month to buy the latest issue of ELLE. This month I'm glad for that zeal, because otherwise I wouldn't have gotten my "The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud." badge. Coco Chanel was speaking right into my future, into a time when I would be having difficulty voicing my opinions and valuing my own thoughts. This badge reminded me that I can, and must, fight to be heard in this life.
Paballo Kashe on 7/21/2012: Hello:-) I got the " Curve: The loveliest distance between two points. - Mae West " Above statement so true! Just like driving- slower your speed, change gears and take precaution - a woman's curves are to be handled that way :-)
