To understand how we got here, we have rewind the VHS tape. 90s Bitch tells the real story of women and girls in the 1990s, exploring how they were maligned by the media, vilified by popular culture, and objectified in the marketplace. Trailblazing women like Hillary Clinton, Anita Hill, Marcia Clark, and Roseanne Barr were undermined. Newsmakers like Monica Lewinsky, Tonya Harding, and Lorena Bobbitt were shamed and misunderstood. The advent of the 24-hour news cycle reinforced society's deeply entrenched sexism. Meanwhile, marketers hijacked feminism and poisoned girlhood for a generation of young women.
Today, there are echoes of '90s “bitchification” nearly everywhere we look. To understand why, we must revisit and interrogate the 1990s - a decade in which female empowerment was twisted into objectification, exploitation, and subjugation.
Yarrow’s thoughtful, juicy, and timely examination is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand 21st-century sexism and end it for the next generation.

She talks about so many issues in the 90's where women were targeted and abused in the media and society as a whole for the same things that men do all the time.
The main issues discussed were Marsha Clark, Hillary Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, Anita Hill, and Women in music. This is a great book to help us understand how we got where we are today, in terms of how women are portrayed and expected to act.
And women AND men please read this book.

To Seventeen magazine (the publication we were reading at age 12-13, and that I dreamed of someday working for)
To YM’s advice and sex columns (a publication that my best friend and I couldn’t bring home and so had to flip through its pages on the floor in a corner corridor of our local small-town mall)
...
I’ve spent the past 30 years first trying to live up to, and later trying to slough off, the expectations and ideas of womanhood that pop culture buried us in up to our necks in the 90’s.
Yarrow is spot-on
