Short description:
Impassioned but practical, this book dives into the topic of misogyny and proposes strategies for effective action. Using a multi-generational approach, it traces the history of misogyny and considers its meaning today -- what is new and what is old -- and explores the current state of feminism as new aspects of misogyny continue to emerge in our society that impact girls and women worldwide.
MoreLong description:
New aspects of the misogyny that impacts girls and women worldwide continue to emerge every day. However, recent movements (e.g.,
MeToo, Time's Up, the Women's March) indicate a strong hunger for a meaningful resource for thoughtful activists. Impassioned but practical, this book discusses the social contexts of misogyny, such as toxic masculinity and rape culture. It traces the history of misogyny and considers its meaning today-what is new and what is old. The author also proposes strategies for effective feminist action. Written for advocates of gender equality who are already aware of misogyny, the book includes Action Steps as tools for activism on both the individual and political levels. Misogyny is a timely text that offers concrete guidance as we strive for the egalitarian society that, despite all setbacks, we are capable of achieving.
