Hi Jessica, I have loved all your work. I really enjoyed The Purity Myth and I have used your work in my Sociology of Gender class. I just had a basic question: Can I look forward to another book on the horizon? If so, what is the theme? Thanks
Jessica Valenti
Hi Brian, thanks so much for the kind words - and a big thank you for using The Purity Myth in your class!
My new book, Sex Object, is out this June. It's a memoir about (obvs) objectification, and what it's like growing up in a sexist culture. At least, what it was like for me. I'm trying to explore how misogyny shapes us...it's a very different book than my other work which makes it both exciting and terrifying!
After this one comes out, nothing new on the horizon after that. Not immediately, anyway!

Hello Jessica, long time fan. My question is, as a feminist writer what issue(s) are ready to be done writing about and what new issue(s) do you think we should be focusing on as feminist? P.S. Why Have Kids?: A New Mom Explores the Truth About Parenting and Happiness is one of the most eye opening books I ever read.
