The cover and interior spreads of TIME's Person of the Year issue feature many of the women and men who have brought the #MeToo movement to the fore — from Tarana Burke, who launched the hashtag 10 years ago, to Alyssa Milano, whose tweet earlier this year brought out an avalanche of revelations that have led to the downfall of countless men in power.
It's a reckoning long in the making, but as the TIME's story says, "We're still at the bomb-throwing point of this revolution, a reactive stage at which nuance can go into hiding. But while anger can start a revolution, in its most raw and feral form it can't negotiate the more delicate dance steps needed for true social change."

But now they have a voice.
