Did Early 2000s Pop Culture Undermine Feminism?

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 28, 2025

In her new book, The Atlantic writer Sophie Gilbert argues that early 2000s pop culture presented toxic views of women, and was a backlash regression from the progress made in the 1990s. She discusses the book, titled Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves. Plus, listeners share their thoughts on how early 2000s culture shaped them. Gilbert will be speaking at the 92Y on April 30 at 7:30 pm.
