" Yarrow's biting autopsy of the decade scrutinizes the way society reduced or bitchified women at work women at home women in court even women on ice skates Direct quotes from politicians journalists and comedians about the women provide the most jarring oh - my - god - that - really - happened portions of Yarrow's decade excavation." Pittsburg Post - Gazette The nostalgic smart and shocking account of how the 90s set back feminism undermined girls and women and shaped the millennial generation from award - winning journalist Allison Yarrow. To understand how we got here we have to 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 Madeleine Albright Janet Reno and Marcia Clark and were undermined. Newsmakers like Britney Spears Monica Lewinsky Tonya Harding and Lorena Bobbitt were shamed and misunderstood. The advent of the 24 - hour news cycle reinforced society's deeply entrenched misogyny. Meanwhile marketers hijacked feminism sold Girl Power and poisoned a generation. Today echoes of 90s bitchification still exist everywhere we look.

Yarrow's thoughtful juicy and timely examination is a must - read for anyone trying to understand 21st century sexism and end it for the next generation.
