EP 68: PRETTY B*TCHES | Lizzie Skurnick

Published: March 9, 2022, 6:28 p.m.

If you're a badass feminist *obsessed* with Wordle (raises hand), let me introduce you to the goddess of words, Lizzie Skurnick, whose recent book "Pretty Bitches: On Being Called Crazy, Angry, Bossy, Frumpy, Feisty, and All the Other Words That Are Used to Undermine Women" is part memoir, part dramaturgical examination, and part exorcism of the words that have pained, broken, and oppressed women for decades of their lives. If you've ever felt restricted by a word, shamed by a word, or called something you thought about for a week afterwards, you are not alone.  It's time to throw off the shame of language.  You will feel stronger after reading the essays in this book, and you will realize -single or no - that none of us are truly alone. Happy Women's History Month. Buy the book on Amazon here. Buy the book at an NYC independent bookstore owned by WOC here. Learn more about Lizzie here.
