Meg Wolitzer talks about her new book, a nuanced perspective on female power.

In her new novel, best-selling author Meg Wolitzer explores the life of a young woman growing into her identity as a feminist. After suffering a sexual assault, the protagonist seeks the advice of a famous feminist - but life complicates their mentorship. These themes are particularly relevant today, but Meg has been thinking about them for years. This book is her "warm take" on gender equality.
