Lindy West is sitting with her back turned to a haven of her own creation. Behind her, the cast and crew of “Shrill” Season 2 are shooting Episode 6, which sees Annie Easton (played by fellow executive producer and writer Aidy Bryant) reporting on a lavish convention meant to support women in business.
Titled Waham for “Women Are Having A Moment,” light streams through the glass walls, ceilings, and walkways as guests enter the open space, lush with indoor plants. Hanging pink banners with white lettering proclaim, “Women are here!” and “Women are now!” Vendors tout “beautiful and powerful” products from female-led small businesses. Bathroom stalls are emblazoned with the hashtag “#TakeThisMoment.”
But for its lush setting and well-branded positivity, the convention isn’t all that it seems. What’s made to look like a celebration of working women is quickly exposed as a way to monetize feminism. Entry fees run upward of $300 per person.
