Girls: How Pop Culture Changed a Generation of Women Against TheySophie Gilbert
Sophie Gilbert's fierce, calm book, “Girls Girls,” challenged me to my selective nostalgia and flinched me. If you too get older in the late 1990s to early 1990s, prepare to prepare a sentimental balloon string painted from the grip. The party is over. It's over.
And for its best, Atlantic writer Gilbert has revealed to the readers the rabbit hole of popular culture from the 1990s to today, connecting dots and revealing previously unknown maps. Her book is a kind of course revision that incorporates holistic tack to explain our current socio-political reality. The profits of women's fierce battles are quickly eroded, and men and boys are in danger.
Gilbert has compiled the first comprehensive survey of 10 rigorously researched but never packed, but perhaps Mirrennium mainstream, cool kid trends and ephemera.
Gilbert was drawn to the subject, she writes, “Because the atrocities and mischief expressed against women during the ageds seemed more important than they were often trusted.” Think of the public autopsy and collective sneer of the Pop Darlings, who are struggling with mental health crises like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.
“The nature of how women were treated in the mass media was not unusual,” continues Gilbert. “The women we were conditioned to hate were too invisible.”
