This program is read by the author.
Compelling and brave, Kates story is a must read for all young women learning how to navigate adulthood and identity. Lili Reinhart, New York Times bestselling author
Strip Tees is a fever dream of a memoirHunter S. Thompson meets Gloria Steinemabout a recent college graduate and what happens when her feminist ideals meet the real world.
At the turn of the new millennium, LA is the place to be. Hipster is a new word on the scene. Lauren Conrad is living her Cinderella story in the Hills on millions of television sets across the country. Paris Hilton tells us Thats hot from behind the biggest sunglasses imaginable, while beautiful teenagers fight and fall in love on The O.C.
Into this most glittering of supposed utopias, Kate Flannery arrives with a Seven Sisters diploma in hand and a new job at an upstart clothing company called American Apparel. Kate throws herself into the work, determined to climb the corporate fashion ladder. Having a job at American Apparel also means being a part of the advertising campaigns themselves, stripping down in the name of feminism.
She slowly begins to lose herself in a landscape of rowdy sex-positivity, racy photo shoots, and a cultlike devotion to the unorthodox CEO and founder of the brand. The line between sexual liberation and exploitation quickly grows hazy, leading Kate to question the companys ethics and wrestle with her own.
Strip Tees captures a moment in our recent past thats already sepia-toned in nostalgia, and also paints a timeless portrait of a young woman who must choose between what business demands and self-respect requires.
