An video interview and a written interview with the Australian writer Melinda Tankard Reist, leader of a new activist group working against the sexualization of girls and society. The first deals more with the issue and the second with the practical details of her campaign against it, Collective Shout : For a world free of sexploitation.
Reist, who came to the First Things office while in New York a few months ago, has written a very good, and infuriating, book called Getting Real: Challenging the sexualisation of girls , available in this country from the Independent Publishers Group .
