{"product_id":"9781550656329","title":"Girls, Interrupted","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe past decade has seen a rise in documentaries, memoirs and podcasts that revisit the legacies of women wronged by pop culture. With movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp challenging long-standing narratives around female celebrities, it's no surprise so many believe the representation of women in the media has improved. In her scathingly witty collection of essays, \u003ci\u003eGirls, Interrupted: How Pop Culture is Failing Women\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003cb\u003eLisa Whittington-Hill\u003c\/b\u003e argues otherwise. Pop culture's treatment of women, writes Whittington-Hill, is still marked by misogyny and misunderstanding. From the gender bias in celebrity memoir coverage to problematic portrayals of middle-aged women and the sexist pressure on female pop stars to constantly reinvent themselves, \u003ci\u003eGirls, Interrupted\u003c\/i\u003e critically examines how mainstream media keeps failing women and explores what we can do to fix it. A work of searing relevance, this candid and often cathartic debut marks Whittington-Hill as a cultural critic of the first rank.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lisa Whittington-Hill (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Vehicule Press |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2023-10-26","offer_id":44229832212735,"sku":"9781550656329","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_56388401-e2ad-4fc0-a080-3d06b0a9de5c.jpg?v=1692984682","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781550656329","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
