Writing
Doyle founded the blog Tiger Beatdown in 2008 and wrote for it beginning that year; the blog ended in 2013.[8][9][10][11][7] In regard to her Tiger Beatdown writing, her critique of Liz Lemon from 2010 was oft-cited,[12][13] while Alyssa Rosenberg, writing for ThinkProgress in 2011, criticized her critique that year of the sexual violence in Game of Thrones.[14]
Doyle's first book, titled Trainwreck: The Women We Love to Hate, Mock, and Fear... and Why (2016),[15][16][10] dealt with the ways in which society, and especially the media, have built up and torn down women who defied social norms throughout history,[9][17] particularly by classifying them as "crazy" and "trainwrecks".[17] Her second book, Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers: Monstrosity, Patriarchy, and the Fear of Female Power, about patriarchy, monsters, and the horror of being female, was released in August 2019.[18][19]
She contributed the piece "The Pathology of Donald Trump" to the 2017 anthology Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America, edited by Samhita Mukhopadhyay and Kate Harding, as well as contributing to Rookie - Yearbook One and Yearbook Two, and the Book of Jezebel.[20][21]
