About

Rachel Hills is a feminist creator and entrepreneur based in Brooklyn, New York. She is the author of The Sex Myth: The Gap Between Our Fantasies and Reality, and the founder of Powerbitches Gather, a private peer support network for powerful progressive womxn, and Protagonistic, a feminist strategic communications consultancy.

Rachel began her career as a journalist and commentator in her early 20s, contributing features and opinion pieces to the Sydney Morning Herald in her native Australia, and going on to contribute to publications across six continents, including The Atlantic, Buzzfeed, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Fusion, The Guardian, The New Inquiry, The New Republic, New York Magazine, New York Times, TIME, Vogue, Washington Post, and more.

Rachel’s first book The Sex Myth was published in 2015, and was named one of the best books of the year by the New York Times’ “Women In The World” vertical. The Sex Myth has since been adapted as a play and activist tool, had a sold-out off-Broadway run, and is now being adapted for television and podcast by Cereal Made.

In addition to her own creative work, Rachel also produces, invests in, and leverages her influence to uplift the work of other feminist storytellers. Past production partnerships include Gabby Smashes, Mary V, and the #HealMeToo Festival.

Rachel is a sought after public speaker, who has keynoted at more than twenty US universities, including Harvard, Cornell, and Ohio State, and has delivered two TEDx talks. The proudest moment of her career so far was speaking in her hometown to a sold-out audience at the Sydney Opera House’s All About Women festival. 

Rachel is currently working on a memoir about motherhood, feminism, and identity.
