Ash and Moya are joined by author and critic Sophie Gilbert to talk about the pornification of pop culture during the ’90s and ’00s – an era when riot grrl gave way to girl power, the supermodel was replaced by the waif, and feminist solidarity battled against tabloid body-shaming and Terry Richardson.

Sophie’s new book, Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves, is available from Penguin.
