In a stunning act of journalism and documentary writing, New York Magazine has interviewed 35 women of the 46 who have publicly come forward against comedian Bill Cosby and accuse him of rape or sexual assault.

The cover story is a feat of planning and circumstance—the magazine began contacting women six months ago when the number of Cosby accusers was much lower, and the project "snowballed" as more and more women shared their stories with the media. From the essay:

The 35 women featured have been interviewed separately, but they all appear together on the front cover of New York's July issue. Online, each woman has her own portrait, and readers can click on any one of them to read her own account of her assault. Many of them, according to New York, have said they know others who have been assaulted by the Cosby Show family man, and are choosing to still keep quiet about it.
