Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves is a landmark work of cultural criticism from Atlantic staff writer and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sophie Gilbert — a New York Times and Washington Post Notable Book, and one of the Best Books of the Year according to TIME, NPR, Elle, and The Boston Globe. Spanning ten chapters, the book traces how the feminist energy of the late 1980s and early 1990s was gradually dismantled by the hyper-objectifying, commercially driven pop culture of the late 1990s and 2000s, and connects that history to the rollback of women's gains in the present day.
