Books
In 2023, Gilbert published a collection of essays titled On Womanhood: Bodies, Literature, Choice.
In 2025, she published Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves, characterized by the New Yorker reviewer as "the most ambitious of the feminist reappraisals of the two-thousands." In an Atlantic article adapted from Girl on Girl, Gilbert reveals she did not begin to question how coming of age in this "hypersexualized, internet-enabled environment" had affected her until a few months into the coronavirus pandemic, when she gave birth to twins.The book was generally praised by reviewers.
In the otherwise welcoming review of The New Yorker, there are objections to the adoption of the anti-porn position of seeing causation where correlation is most likely. "There is plenty of evidence," the review reads, "that sadistic men watch sadistic porn, less evidence that sadistic porn creates sadistic men." Gilbert is said to be dwelling on porn's most violent offerings as if porn's extremes express the truth of that medium. The reviewer concludes that, without the ambition of Dworkin-MacKinnon or the materialist analysis of their socialist and Third Worldist contemporaries, who have ostensibly traced the source of women's oppression to colonialism, racism, and economic inequality, the author's argument finds itself at a dead end.

“British tabloid newspaper The Sun offered a £50,000 prize for the first couple to have sex on camera on the reality show Big Brother, and no one seemed to care that a journalistic institution was essentially commissioning sex or to find the offer even slightly unsettling.”
“In 2019, the writer Jia Tolentino described ‘the gradual emergence, among professionally beautiful women, of a single, cyborgian face,’ and no one seems to have pioneered its uncanny lifelessness more effectively than the Kardashians.”
