Memoirist of the Future: Lena Chen
Confession: when I hear the words “sex blogger”, I cringe a little. I’ve never bought into that whole “having loads of sex for the sake of it is super-feminist” myth.
But while Lena Chen became famous for her blog The Sex and the Ivy (about her sex life at Harvard) she doesn’t subscribe to the idea that having sex with a lot of people is in itself feminist. She’s more interested in challenging our expectations about sex, gender, and sexuality, like with her conference, Rethinking Virginity.
Now graduated, with an impressive list of publishing credits um, under her belt, she often mentions her desire to publish a memoir — and I’ve no doubt she will.
Until then, keep up with Lena’s freelance writing, globe-hopping, feminist-promoting adventures at The Ch!cktionary, her regularly-updated blog, or at GURL.com, where she’s the editor of the health, sex, and relationships channel.
