Suzanne Leonard, Professor of Race, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and Director of the Graduate Program in Gender and Cultural Studies, was recently quoted in an article on the B-Side, connecting the current “stay at home girlfriend” trend on social media as a response to the previous “girlboss” trend.
While Leonard sees the “real and valid critique of work culture” at the heart of SAHG content, she questions what the “end game” is to encourage young women to remove themselves from the public sphere and focus their attention on the home.
