How the Internet Turned an Entire Generation of Girls Into Products | Freya India

<p>Girls used to be sold products. Now they&#39;ve become the product.</p><p><br></p><p>Today&#39;s guest is writer Freya India. Her new book, &#39;GIRLS®: Generation Z and the Commodification of Everything,&#39; argues that an entire generation of young women has been taught to package, brand, and market themselves for public consumption — from Instagram feeds to dating apps.
