Sophie Gilbert: Girl on Girl

From heroin chic to the commodification of girl power, Atlantic culture critic and Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer Sophie Gilbert discusses how millennial pop culture turned a generation of women against themselves.

As she discusses her new book Girl on Girl, she takes a deep dive into the pop cultural forces of the late 1990s and Y2K era that shaped and warped women's relationships with themselves and other women. In this new book, Gilbert reveals the cultural forces that shaped a generation, and and her own experience of growing up during these defining decades. With host Kate Jinx.
