Leora Tanenbaum has been researching and writing about slut-shaming since before the term even existed. She is the author of Slut! Growing Up Female with a Bad Reputation, I Am Not a Slut: Slut-Shaming in the Age of the Internet, and others. She is editor-in-chief of the nonprofit Catalyst and a member of the Advisory Council of the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women at Brown University.
Leora is available to speak to students, parents, educators, and community groups. She addresses the reasons that young women’s decisions about their appearance make sense within the sexist culture they inhabit–and why we must recognize the benefits and costs involved.
