Ariel Levy is a staff writer at The New Yorker. The author of Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture, Levy explores the motivations and implications of women's participation in pop culture phenomena such as Girls Gone Wild and Sex and the City. More broadly, Levy studies the place of gender roles, drug use, and lesbian culture in contemporary society. Levy frequently lectures at colleges across the country, discussing the various brands of feminism and the commercialized sex appeal of which she so often writes.
