This issue of The Weekly Standard featured Christopher Caldwell's cover story examining "The Feminization of America," exploring the cultural and social impacts of changing gender dynamics in American society. The magazine also covered education policy through John J. Dilulio Jr.'s piece on improving schools through moral education, and addressed foreign policy concerns with Matthew Rees's article on Clinton's difficulties with China policy and Helle Bering-Jensen's critical examination of Madeleine Albright's appointment. The holiday issue reflected the magazine's conservative perspective on cultural, educational, and diplomatic matters.
