I talked with @annehelen.bsky.social for Culture Study (are you subscribed yet?) about women's automobility, the impact of psychology on advertising, and how new car ads for women stack up against the kinds of ads I discuss in PINK CARS AND POCKETBOOKS!

Recently I chatted about PINK CARS AND POCKETBOOKS with Miranda Melcher for @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social! We talk about the tension between the car industry and women through the 20th century and I share some of the fascinating things I learned while researching the book.
