How pop culture turned a generation of women against themselves

Exploring pop culture from the early 90s to now, Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist Sophie Gilbert takes a microscope to it all – from Madonna, the Spice Girls, Kate Moss and Britney Spears, to Myspace and the #Girlboss era – uncovering how every form of media has shaped and warped women’s relationships with themselves and with other women.
