The 1990s were supposed to be the "decade of women," but it became all about the bitches instead. Caroline and Cristen put on their velvet chokers for a feminist 90s-nostalgia trip with journalist Allison Yarrow, author of 90s Bitch: Media, Culture, and the Failed Promise of Gender Equality. Tune in to discover the bitchification backlash against the decade's leading unladies, like Monica Lewinsky, Lorena Bobbitt, and Hillary Clinton.
