Media Tarts

"Media Tarts," by Julia Baird, offers a revealing examination of how the media has historically treated female politicians, highlighting patterns of misogyny and objectification that persist today. Drawing on extensive interviews and now revised with a new foreword by Annabel Crabb, the audiobook provides an in-depth analysis of the media’s role in shaping public perception and the careers of women in Australian politics. It serves as a critical, insightful exploration of gender bias in the press and its enduring impact over nearly two decades.
