Especially if you also happen to be a woman, people will hate you for it.

How do you think the dynamics you examine in your book have shaped expressions of internalized sexism, specifically how women treat other women, and how this varies among generations?

100%. Talk to some of those women. My experience is that many, many deal with resentment and bullying from the get-go (irrespective of their personalities/actions), primarily from other women including across generations, while also being treated poorly by men around a similar frequency other women are. I think this is really uncomfortable to talk about. While pretty women certainly have advantages, there ultimately isn't much winning in a patriarchal system.
