Smart Girls Have More Fun
This month, actress, writer, and comedian Amy Poehler continues to explore the intersection of new media and feminism with Season Two of her tween-oriented digital series, Smart Girls at the Party. Poehler uses a traditional talk show format to interview pre-teen girls “who are changing the world by being themselves,” featuring “bite-sized and positive” episodes that highlight passionate young ladies discussing hobbies like gardening, robotics, boxing, yoga, and cooking. Produced by Poehler and her two close friends, Meredith Walker and Amy Miles, the show features “world-famous” 20-second rock songs, dance parties, and a lot of earnest enthusiasm. A self-proclaimed feminist, Poehler designed the show to celebrate female friendship and the unqualified ambition of young girls, as she discussed in a recent AlterNet interview:
The idea came out of us wishing we had a time machine so we could go back to the younger versions of ourselves and let them know it was gonna be ok. We wanted to do a show that we would have wanted to watch at that age. And we knew we wanted to have a dance party at the end. We basically started with the dance party and worked backwards… Our culture can get so snarky and ironic sometimes and we kind of wanted Smart Girls to celebrate the opposite of that.
