Thanks to Bustle for including The Girl In The Show in this round-up!

Even though what you're about to read is an entire list chock full of books about some of the most hilarious people in the world — who just so happen to be women — it still feels like the world just hasn't quite gotten the message that women are just…

Talking Dirty to the Animals: Comedy in the Era of Gaslightenment

09/07/2017

Episode 256 brings us author, documentarian and screenwriter (and a bunch of other great stuff) Anna Fields, whose encyclopedic knowledge of the history of women in comedy causes JV to ask her to create an online class… but for now you can settle for her wonderful book and upcoming documentary film,...

"For women, comedy has always been a Trojan Horse. 'Aren't I funny? Surprise, here's some truth!' In that case, Anna Fields is like Homer: a smartypants who approaches the subject matter with insight and passion. But this time with b***s — Surprise!"
-- Jane Borden, author of "I Totally Meant to Do That"

“I’m not funny at all. What I am is brave.” —Lucille Ball

With powerhouses like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Amy Schumer dominating the entertainment landscape and memoirs from today’s most vocal feminist comediennes shooting up the bestseller lists, women in comedy have never been more influential.

Marking this cultural shift, The Girl in the Show provides an in-depth exploration of how comedy and feminism have grown hand in hand to give women a stronger voice in the ongoing fight for equality. From I Love Lucy to SNL to today’s rising cable and web-series stars, Anna Fields’ entertaining retrospective combines amusing and honest personal narratives with the historical, political, and cultural contexts of the feminist movement.

With interview subjects like Abbi Jacobson, Molly Shannon, Mo Collins, and Lizz Winstead among others—as well as actresses, stand-up comics, writers, producers, and female comedy troupes—Fields shares true stories of wit and heroism from some of our most treasured (and under-represented) artists.

At its heart, The Girl in the Show captures the urgency of our continued struggle towards equality, allowing the reader to both revel in—and rebel against—our collective ideas of “women’s comedy.”

"I have a joke about how I’m in a relationship and -- although its lovely to be in a relationship -- I'm slowly losing my identity. My boyfriend doesn’t love that joke, but he gets it because it’s actually a universal thing. Anyone who’s ever been in a relationship will understand that feeling. If you take away the expectation to be with someone else, you’re only left with yourself, right? So, it just goes back to the same thing: What is self? Who are we? What are we? Comedians are trying to find those answers. We're making sense out of each other and out of the madness of existence." -- Emily Maya Mills interviewing for Rebel Deb Productions
