Ariel Levy (geb. 17. Oktober 1974) ist eine amerikanische Schriftstellerin und Journalistin. Sie ist beim Magazin The New Yorker angestellt.[1] und Autorin der Monographie Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture.[2] Sie hat unter anderem in der Washington Post, The New Yorker, Vogue, Slate, und der New York Timesn publiziert.
Leben
Levy wuchs in Larchmont (New York) auf. Sie besuchte dieWesleyan University in den 1990ern und schloß dieses Studium 1996 ab. Nach ihrem Abschluß war sie kurz bei Planned Parenthood angestellt, wo sie nach eigenen Angaben entlassen wurde, weil sie eine „eine extraordinär schlechte Schreibkraft“ ("an extremely poor typist") sei.[3] Danach stellte New York magazine shortly thereafter. In 2013, she wrote about losing her baby at 19 weeks while traveling alone in der Mongolei.[4]
Werk
12 Jahre trug Levy beim Magazin New York, wo sie Artikel über John Waters, Stanley Bosworth, Donatella Versace, George W. S. Trow, Andrea Dworkin und die Künstler Ryan McGinley sowie Dash Snow bei. 2008 wurde Levy beim New Yorker angestellt, dort veröffentlichte sie beispielsweise Biographien von Cindy McCain, Silvio Berlusconi, Caster Semenya und Callista Gingrich.
Levys journalistisches Werk beschäftigt sich mit dem Drogenkonsum in den USA, Geschlechterrollen, LGBT und popkulturelle Phänomene wie die Fernsehserie Sex and the City. Wiederkehrend ist dabei das Thema des neuen Feminismus. Vorlage:Quote box Levy wandte sich gegen die pornographische Video-Serie Girls Gone Wild, nachdem sie dem Kamerateam drei Tage gefolgt war und die Produzendenten und Darstellerinen der Serie interviewt hatte. and commented on the series' concept and the debauchery she was witnessing. Many of the young women Levy spoke with believed that bawdy and liberated were synonymous.
Levy's experiences amid Girls Gone Wild appear again in Female Chauvinist Pigs, in which she attempts to explain "why young women today are embracing raunchy aspects of our culture that would likely have caused their feminist foremothers to vomit." In today's culture, Levy writes, the idea of a woman participating in a wet T-shirt contest or being comfortable watching explicit pornography has become a symbol of strength; she says that she was surprised at how many people, both men and women, working for programs such as Girls Gone Wild told her that this new "raunch" culture marked not the downfall of feminism but its triumph, but Levy was unconvinced.
Levy's work is anthologized in The Best American Essays of 2008, New York Stories, and 30 Ways of Looking at Hillary.
Levy was named one of the "Forty Under 40" most influential out individuals in the June/July 2009 issue of The Advocate.[5]
