It has been called "smart, funny and fearless" (Boston Globe), "compelling" and "persuasive" (New York Times Book Review), and "a deeply researched account of our culture’s misogynistic obsession with trainwrecks (Portland Mercury); The Atlantic predicted that "Trainwreck will very likely join the feminist canon." While waiting to join the feminist canon, to which she will bring a bag of Takis and some board games, Sady is a journalist living in Brooklyn, New York. In 2008, she founded the feminist blog Tiger Beatdown. While at Tiger Beatdown, she led several successful social media awareness campaigns, including #MooreandMe and #MenCallMeThings, and won the Women's Media Center Social Media Award in 2011.
