Exciting, but not surprising. Caroline Calloway, self-proclaimed “scammer” and queen of name-searching, reached out to promote her book on the pod. In this special interview, Hannah and Maia discuss the long-awaited memoir, Scammer, with the author herself (who characteristically conducted the interview from her luxurious Floridian bed). Discussions include: the ethics of writing about other people’s traumas, undervaluing art made on social media, and the Dimes Square Image Rehabilitation Centre™. Digressions include: Tile Tequila and the nightmare that was being bi in the 2000s, coining the term “trad book”, and Caroline’s official inauguration as “schemer, not scammer.” 

You wanna be on top? Well then girl, go do some exploitation! Hannah and Maia discuss the once revered, now maligned figure of the Girlboss™. Where did she come from? How did she get here? And why does she keep telling us to wash our face? We think sometimes you have to stop and consider, maybe becoming the #1 event planner in your state doesn't make you Malala. Join us for an unpacking of the She-EO, the world's fastest crash course on women in the workplace, Hannah's arduous journey towards building her bed, and whether or not we should put the "C" word on a t-shirt (we should).  Support us on Patreon for and get juicy bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic SOURCES:  Isabel Sloan, “How Girlboss Became a Slur”, Early Magazine (2021) https://www.earlymagazine.com/articles/how-girlboss-became-a-slur “Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss”, Know Your Meme https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/gaslight-gatekeep-girlboss Alex Abad-Santos, “The death of the girlboss”, Vox (2021) https://www.vox.com/22466574/gaslight-gatekeep-girlboss-meaning Sophia Amoruso, “#GIRLBOSS”, (2014), Penguin Publishing Group  Rachel Hollis, “Girl, Stop Apologizing” (2019), Harper Collins Constance Grady, “Why The Author of Girl, Stop Apologizing had to Apologize Twice in One Week” (2021), Vox https://www.vox.com/culture/22373865/rachel-hollis-controversy-harriet-tubman-girl-wash-your-face-stop-apologizing-unrelatable Hannah Ewens, “The Girlboss Has Evolved into an Even More Powerful Form” (2019), Vice https://www.vice.com/en/article/ywy7gj/girlboss-women-entrepreneurs-feminism-capitalism-class-irony Emily Yellin, “Lining up for Wartime Weddings” (2017), The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/cp/weddings/165-years-of-wedding-announcements/world-war-two-weddings Erin Gloria Ryan, “The Short List: Women at Work” (2014), The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/18/books/review/sophia-amorusos-girlboss-and-more.html
