Description of  Toxic Women, Fame, and the Tabloid 2000s [Audiobook]

B0CHKH832V M4B@64 kbps Author: Sarah Ditum Narrator: Sarah Ditum Some of them you think you know already, and others will be less familiar, but Toxic reveals these women neither as pure victims nor as conniving strategists, but as complex individuals trying to navigate celebrity while under attack from a vicious and fast-changing media. Their portrayal has shaped the way that all women-famous or otherwise-are viewed today, and their experiences preempted the now-universal condition, especially thanks to social media, of living under the public gaze. In this audiobook, Ditum brings listeners back to a time before second chances and redemption arcs, and traces the ripple effects that came in the wake of spending a decade vilifying our idols. We'll see how these women's stories intersect with the birth of YouTube, the rise of Internet pornography, and the emergence of Donald Trump as a political force. It's time to come to terms with how those cultural events shaped the way we see ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, our aspirations, and our presence in the wider world. We are all products of the toxic decade.
