Summary
Doree and Elise speak with journalist and cultural critic Sophie Gilbert about the prescient and important themes of her book Girl on Girl (out 4/29). They discuss her cultural history of the 90s through the 2010s, and what effect this period had on the women's movement and the momentum of feminism, the lasting influence of porn in shaping early aughts culture, and why the girl boss era was a scam.
