Room of Your Own 1: Women Writing In The Age Of Britney: Pop Culture & Gossip & Feministy Stuff, Oh My

In an age when Octo-Mom, Sarah Palin, LOST, Britney Spears, Twilight and Brangelina dominate the headlines on a near-daily basis, it’s about time we asked: What is the state of pop culture writing (writing about TV, movies, magazines, music and celebrity gossip) among women, and what good is it doing us? Is it a genre that empowers women as writers and readers – even as feminists? – or does it keep us locked in old stereotypes about women as gossips and consumers of soap operas and morning shows?

Join the ladies of MamaPop – Tracey Gaughran-Perez of Sweetney, Amy Storch of Amalah and Catherine Connors of Her Bad Mother – to weigh in on whether pop culture writing online is currently one of the best forums for really intelligent and thoughtful musings on the place of women in society, or if women’s writing should be focused elsewhere.
