Girl on Girl

From a Pulitzer Prize-finalist for journalism, Girl on Girl is the ultimate book to understanding the toxic legacy of popular culture on women today - and what we can do to fight back.

Cosmetic surgeries are at an all-time high, Ozempic is bringing back 'heroin chic' and the manosphere on the rise - after four waves of feminism, what went wrong?

Despite decades of progress, modern womanhood feels more challenging than ever. Atlantic critic and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sophie Gilbert reveals how today's misogyny emerged from another turbulent era: the late 90s and early 2000s.

Spanning the past thirty years of pop culture - from Madonna to Taylor Swift, #GirlBoss to OnlyFans, Real Housewives to trad-wives - Girl on Girl shows how every form of media, heavily influenced by the rise of porn, has warped women's relationships with themselves and others.

We cannot move forward without fully reckoning with the ways pop culture has defined us - this book shows us how.
