As a working writer, passionate literary citizen and feminist activist for over twenty years, I walk the walk and talk the talk of philogyny. What is philogyny? The antonym of misogyny; PHILOGYNY simply means the love and admiration for women and girls. THE PHILOGYNISTS is my next book––a playful, voice driven essay collection that constructs the history of philogyny written in the style of a Wikipedia entry gone haywire. I write a complimentary weekly Substack of the same name as well as host Philogyny Parties where we collectively change the entry for philogyny. I’m also the author of Women À La Mode: A Memoir of Writing a Book about Feminists in Paris and the Founder of The Writers Retreat in the Côte d’Azur, a luxurious five star writers retreat in the South of France.
