In their very first episode of Pairings, Amile and Phoebe unpack the stories that shape modern womanhood. From picking up The Second Shift after a full day at work to the performance of beauty and emotional labour, they reflect on how cultural expectations and online life shape women’s inner worlds.

This episode pairs well with:

• The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf
• Your Silence Will Not Protect You by Audre Lorde
• Barbie (2023), dir. Greta Gerwig
• The Second Shift by Arlie Russell Hochschild
• A dry gin martini, with a twist.
• Speaking openly with your girlfriends about heteronormative relationships
• Setting expectations with your boyfriends from the get-go.

Happy listening,

A&P
