About this listen

This week on Read Like a Woman, we’re welcoming Whitney back to the mic — truly the hero of last-minute schedule chaos. Together, we dive into girlhood and the way female protagonists have evolved from flat tropes into complex, unruly, tender, powerful women. We talk about what it means to grow up reading stories about girlhood while trying to make sense of our own, and how those narratives continue to shape who we are becoming.

A quick heads up: we did run into some microphone issues (the girlhood-to-womanhood pipeline is rarely smooth, and apparently neither is recording). Thanks for listening!
