90s Bitch: Media, Culture, and the Failed Promise of Gender Equality by Allison Yarrow

4.0

If you grew up during the 90s as a young woman, this will strike a nerve and make you do a 180 on everything you thought to be 'true.' The premise of the book outlines how the advent of the 'girl power' took the idea of empowerment and actually made the women and girls see their sexualizing power as a good thing when ultimately it was just exploiting it still.
Some of it I have to admit wasn't relatable. I didn't care for the Spice Girls at all! I did understand what they sensibility they were appealing to today.
On the heels of nominating the first African American Supreme Court Justice, it makes you think we've come a long way, but have we?
