Summary:
"The past decade has seen a rise in documentaries, memoirs and podcasts that revisit the legacies of
women
wronged by
pop
culture
. With movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp challenging long-standing narratives around female celebrities, it's no surprise so many believe the representation of
women
in the media has improved. In her scathingly witty collection of essays,
Girls
,
Interrupted
:
How
Pop
Culture
is
Failing
Women
, Lisa Whittington-Hill argues otherwise.
Pop
culture
's treatment of
women
, writes Whittington-Hill, is still marked by misogyny and misunderstanding. From the gender bias in celebrity memoir coverage to problematic portrayals of middle-aged
women
and the sexist pressure on female
pop
stars to constantly reinvent themselves,
Girls
,
Interrupted
critically examines
how
mainstream media keeps
failing
women
and explores what we can do to fix it. A work of searing relevance, this candid and often cathartic debut marks Whittington-Hill as a cultural critic of the first rank."--Publisher.
