Leora Tanenbaum is a feminist author and slut-shaming expert. In the 1990s, with her first book, Slut! Growing Up Female with a Bad Reputation, she coined the term “slut-bashing”—the concept now known as “slut-shaming.” Her most recent book, which explores the way slut-shaming has changed with the rise of digital culture, is I Am Not a Slut: Slut-Shaming in the Age of the Internet. On Instagram, she provides a platform for those who have been dress-coded or slut-shamed over their clothing at @BeingDressCoded. Leora is also the communications director of Columbia University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. She has been a guest on Oprah, The Today Show, and National Public Radio, and her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Time, Cosmopolitan, The Nation, and The Women’s Review of Books.
