Description
The story of the women who shaped the early 21st century is one of fame, fortune, and exploitation. Journalist Sarah Ditum explores the lives of nine iconic women, from Britney to Janet, who rose to fame in the early internet years, but at a cost. Through their struggles with the media, their careers, and their personal lives, Ditum sheds light on the culture of the time. These women were presented with the opportunities of early social media and marketability, but only if they conformed to the new rules of engagement. Some were hypersexualized, shamed, or betrayed by those in power. Others were controlled by management companies and industry figures. Ditum's book is a wild ride through the millennial years, revealing the darker side of fame and the early 21st century. Through their stories, Ditum illuminates the culture of the time, highlighting the ways in which women's lives were shaped by the demands of fame and the media.
