See this content in the original post

Meet Gina Fattore! Gina is a published author & seasoned TV Writer. Her first novel is the very funny Spinster Diaries, which you can find wherever you get your books. She also has a TEDx Talk about spinsterhood called Become What You Believe. Her TV credits include being the creator & showrunner of Dare Me, being a Consulting Producer on the STARZ limited series Gaslit, and a writer on Better Things, Californication, and Gilmore Girls. Like me, Gina is a life-long spinster, and I really enjoyed our chat. Of course, we spoke of writing for TV, but more interestingly, IMHO, we chatted about how the TV of the 70s which came out of the wake of both the Women’s Equality Movement & the Civil Rights Movement helped to shape both of us into the feminists that we are today and the artists that we have become. And as two spinsters would, we also touched on how women can seek out freedom & autonomy and be happy.
