Feminism in the Media from Spice Girls to Barbie: Interview with Sophie Gilbert, author of 'GIRL ON GIRL: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves'

This week on Name 3 Songs

Fangirl Nonsense is taking us to Glastonbury festival, looking at The 1975's incredible headline set, Paul Mescal making out with Gracie Abrams, Louis Tomlinson allegedly liking a Larry Stylinson Reel, and multiple acts speaking out for the people of Palestine. We're also having a brief discussion on Benson Boone's surprising Billboard number 2 debut for his weird sophomore album.

Then we're talkg to Atlantic writer and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sophie Gilbert who wrote an incredible book called GIRL ON GIRL: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves, the book pulls back the curtain on the ways in which pop culture let our girls down, and points us toward a new way forward, one in which girls can re-envision what they are capable of, how they view each other, and possess the tools and media literacy with which to question the messages they’re bombarded with. Please let me know if you would like to receive a galley, and I very much hope you will keep this book in mind for your spring coverage.
