30 years before the #metoo movement, author and journalist Peggy Orenstein was writing about women, girls and parenthood. When she got breast cancer, she stood up to "pink culture" and called out the pressure to be positive on women who are going through the worst time of their lives.

Her essays about women and girls and the challenges of teenagers growing up with the pressure to be sexy thanks to  pornography and pop culture are collected in a new book,  Don't Call Me Princess: Essays on Girls, Women, Sex, and Life
