Hi! Late to the game on this one, but starting the newsletter program. I write personal essays that are often focused on the experience/reality of fourth wave feminism: the discrepancies between how we treat ourselves and others when it comes to things like beauty ideals, body positivity, and sexual autonomy. For my newsletter, I wanted to narrow in on sex and dating within this context -- here's what I have:

Working Title: "And Then I Wondered..."

SATC for the modern-day woman—tales of sex, dating, and everything in between for the contemporary feminist.

Title is a nod to sex and the city bc carrie is always saying "and then i wondered" or "I couldn't help but wonder," but the idea is to infuse the format of her fictional column with the experience of today's woman, and naturally it would be more like an actual column might read. The other specifics I'm working with are being neurodivergent, and also having experienced sexual trauma and an abusive relationship -- these feel like they are more specific to the contemporary culture of self-reflection and mental health. So was going to include this statement, still finessing it, in the description to further narrow the content-- not sure yet? would love suggestions!

SATC for the modern-day woman—tales of sex, dating, and everything in between for the contemporary feminist. SSRIs and the female orgasm gap, overcoming sexual-trauma while wanting to get boned, and the nuances of asserting independence in relationship-obsessed culture included.
