Girl on Girl — Book Event
Description
In the wake of third-wave feminism, a regressive cultural shift took hold, replacing the radical energy of 'riot grrrls' with hyper-objectification, sexualization, and pervasive misogyny. From the commodification of "girl power" to the toxic narratives of 2000s tabloid journalism and internet pornography, a new media landscape emerged that actively. Girl On Girl exposes how pop culture trained a generation to internalize these harmful, impossible standards.
Sophie Gilbert is a Pulitzer Prize-nominated critic and staff writer at The Atlantic. Her new book uses incisive cultural analysis to explore how media shapes societal attitudes, ultimately revealing the insidious ways popular culture has turned women against themselves.
