I’m A, Like, Valley Girl: Writing Through Gender Stereotypes

About the Event

Join Koa Beck, author of White Feminism: From the Suffragettes to Influencers and Who They Leave Behind and the Substack, Valley Girl, for a discussion about writing, gender, and origin. Writing through gender stereotypes often means challenging what readers think they already know about a place, a history, or a community.

Learn how Koa, a valley girl herself, approaches these challenges when writing her newsletter, Valley Girl, a weekly interrogation and cultural study of the Los Angeles gender stereotype across American culture, history, and lived experience. She will share how she broadens understandings of real-life valley girls and analyzes the various cultural and political factors that shaped the pervasive gender trope that still persists today.
