Published: Jan. 25, 2023, 6:23 p.m.

b'Peggy Orenstein is a journalist and author. Her latest book is\\xa0Unraveling.\\n\\u201cThe challenge is\\u2026 to not want to say,\\xa0I need to know what the book is about. I need to have my chapters. I need to know what exactly I\'m looking for.\\xa0Because it\'s really scary to just go out and report and have trust that there\'s going to be interesting things and that if you just keep going, you\'re going to find them. So to not foreclose possibility and options and ideas is the biggest reporting challenge for those sorts of books for me.\\u201d\\nShow notes:\\n\\n@peggyorenstein\\n\\npeggyorenstein.com\\n\\n01:00Girls & Sex\\xa0(Harper \\u2022 2016)\\n\\n01:00\\xa0Boys & Sex\\xa0(Harper \\u2022 2020)\\n\\n01:00\\xa0Cinderella Ate My Daughter\\xa0(Harper \\u2022 2012)\\n\\n01:00\\xa0Waiting for Daisy\\xa0(Bloomsbury \\u2022 2007)\\n\\n01:00\\xa0Unraveling\\xa0(Harper \\u2022 2023)\\n\\n14:00\\xa0Salt: A World History\\xa0(Mark Kurlansky \\u2022 Penguin Books \\u2022 2003)\\n\\n18:00\\xa0"Mourning My Miscarriage"\\xa0(New York Times Magazine \\u2022 Apr 2002)\\n\\n21:00\\xa0Schoolgirls: Young Women, Self-Esteem and the Confidence Gap\\xa0(Anchor \\u2022 1995)\\n\\n25:00\\xa0"Champion of the Deep"\\xa0(New York Times Magazine \\u2022 Jun 1991)\\n\\n37:00\\xa0Bird by Bird\\xa0(Anne Lamott \\u2022 Anchor \\u2022 1995)\\n\\n47:00\\xa0Aftersun\\xa0(A24 \\u2022 2022)\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
