Armed with an undergraduate degree from Barnard College, and an MFA from Ohio University, Koenig has taken feminism to a new level. As the former editor-in-chief of Playgirl Magazine, she challenged a traditionally male-dominated industry with new ideas about what women want from a magazine. From that vantage point she examined the disparity in gender roles in American society. Ms. Koenig is a highly requested media maven on women's issues, taking her compelling arguments to the O'Reilly Factor and Fox News. You may have seen her defending Britney Spears controversial MTV Video Music Awards appearance, or taking adult entertainment to the academic ranks and discussing the repercussions of offering university classes on the sociology of pornography. Ms. Koenig brings a fresh approach to a tired, flaccid subject by analyzing the "flesh business" through the lens of gender studies.

	As editor of Playgirl Koenig addressed the question of: why is female nudity more socially acceptable than male nudity. In her program, Ms. Koenig breaks down misconceptions about the beauty myth, family values and highlights her hands-on experience running a magazine against the odds, and why being a female editor-in-chief of a national publication remains exceptional after almost 100 years of women's rights. In addition to her lecture program, Ms. Koenig offers a titillating one-woman show - CENTERFOLD - based on her experiences at Playgirl. And in the show it's raining men---men with ponytails and no need for cumbersome pants---based on her real life experiences at the helm of hedonism. Join her as she transforms from fraidy cat to sex kitten while navigating her way through a world of oily men in an outfit that's dry clean only.
