Brien is particularly interested in Madonna's role as a cultural icon. She argues that Madonna has been a major force in shaping the way we think about gender, sexuality, and identity. Madonna's music, videos, and performances have all challenged conventional norms and pushed the boundaries of what is considered acceptable.

She is also a successful businesswoman, with her own clothing line, fragrance line, and film production company.
