"In a culture that would rather talk about young women than listen when those same women speak for themselves, Porcelain Rage offers a welcome intervention. Elias's criticism is compelling, incisive, and often cathartic, even if you're not of her generational cohort."- Harron Walker, author of Aggregated Discontent and writer for the New York Times and The Cut

About Porcelain RageGirlhood is unprecedented in the 2020s. And yet all the media, trends, and experiences that reveal so much about our livelihoods and culture are not taken seriously in nonfiction. Porcelain Rage is a book that serves the purpose of The Feminine Mystique for Gen Z girls, naming the unrecognized pressures that weigh on a new cohort. This cultural manifesto spans history with modern media, treating the culture of young women as a primary source. In Porcelain Rage, every facet of the zeitgeist, high and low, mainstream and niche, is fair game. What does being a girl mean today? How do we survive it? Porcelain Rage is the definitive book on and for Gen Z women: our culture, how it is killing us, and what we do to survive. In nine comprehensive chapters, Elias delves into the trenches of TikTok and the Manosphere, Pilates studios and psych wards, porn and podcasts, cottagecore cabins and arenas, to uncover the “secrets” of her generation of women, exposing the mysteries and cultural lies keeping so many girls unhappy.
