Allison Yarrow & Emma Gray | 90s Bitch | A Girl's Guide to Joining the Resistance
About the Book
In "90s Bitch," award-winning journalist and National Magazine Award finalist Allison Yarrow tells the real story of women in the 1990s, exploring how they were maligned by the media, vilified by popular culture, and objectified in the marketplace. Trailblazers like Hillary Clinton, Anita Hill, and Marcia Clark were undermined. Newsmakers like Monica Lewinsky were shamed and misunderstood. The advent of the 24-hour news cycle reinforced society's deeply entrenched sexism. To understand 21st century sexism and end it for the next generation, Yarrow believes that we must revisit and interrogate this turbulent decade.
About the Book
After the 2016 presidential election, Emma Gray, executive women’s editor at HuffPost, put on her journalist’s hat and set out to get answers to the questions many women were wondering: How do I get involved? How do I stay engaged for the long term? How do I keep fighting while continuing to live my real life? To get answers, she spoke with prominent thought leaders, march organizers, senators, and long-time activists across political movements to find out the best ways to create sustainable action. Gray has created a guide, "A Girl’s Guide to Joining the Resistance," for women of all ages to roll up their sleeves and resist the forces that are a threat to our rights.
Yarrow and Gray will be in conversation with Dana Barrett, TV & Radio Host, The Dana Barrett Show on Talk Radio 640 WGST.
