#GIRLBOSS

Sophia Benoit’s first book pulls together essays that have appeared across publications she’s written for, plus new material, into a collection that hits the topics her readers already follow her for. Modern dating, sex, the politics of desire, and what it actually feels like to be a young woman trying to navigate all of it without losing the thread.

Benoit is funny without being glib. She’s serious about the politics but doesn’t lecture.

The essays work both as standalone reads and as a connected argument about the small ways patriarchy keeps showing up even in supposedly progressive spaces.

For readers who follow Lindy West, Roxane Gay, or Jia Tolentino, Benoit is in that conversation, with a slightly younger voice and more pop culture in the mix. Worth reading.
