Leigh Stein

    Leigh Steinová sa venuje téme, čo s nami robí internet. Jej štvrtá kniha je satirou na wellness priemysel a „girlboss“ feminizmus, ktorá kriticky skúma honbu za úspechom a sebaprezentáciu. Svoje skúsenosti z vedenia rozsiahlej online komunity spisovateliek a z práce vo feministickej neziskovej organizácii pretavila do literárnej tvorby, ktorá sa hlboko zamýšľa nad súčasnými spoločenskými trendmi a digitálnou kultúrou.
