We're in Brooklyn this week for a visit with award-winning journalist, New York Times gender editor and author Jessica Bennett. Jessica's first book was the global phenomenon Feminist Fight Club: A Survival Manual For a Sexist Workplace and her most recent release is This Is 18: Girls’ Lives Through Girls’ Eyes. We talked to her about feminist icons, Sweet Valley High, internet slang, embarrassing diaries and marriage.
