Misogyny

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. <em>Misogyny</em> is a timely text that offers concrete guidance as we strive for the egalitarian society that despite all setbacks we are capable of achieving.<br>
