New York Times Letters: Emotional Growth in Men

A NYTimes Letters piece from November, 2012. It was definitely one of my favorite assignments from the past year. Read the letters here and the original Op-Ed here. Tons of thanks to the great Alexandra for the impeccable art direction.

"People, especially men, become more aware of their emotions as they get older. Part of this is probably historical. Over the past half-century or so, American culture has become more attuned to the power of relationships. Masculinity has changed, at least a bit."
