Beth
Beth asked Lena Dunham:

Your book is a great inspiration for me personally and is filled with a lot of refreshingly honest stories that I feel can resonate with a lot of women. With the word "feminism" popping up around the news and social media more and more these days, I'm wondering how and if that had an impact on your writing style? How do you define "feminism", and what advice would you give to any females who want to write a novel?

Melissa
Melissa asked Lena Dunham:

Would you consider writing a second book about your creative process and about how your success happened (how you were able to get your movies made and what the process was like developing Girls--maybe incorporating what it is like for a woman in the entertainment industry today)? Thanks!

Bill
Bill asked Lena Dunham:

Aside from writing that future memoir when you're 80, do you have any other, more immediate, plans to counteract the "Sunsine Stealers" and help other young women who aspire to work in film and television?
