Abstract:
New aspects of misogyny emerge every day. Recent movements such as #MeToo, Time's Up, and the Women's March, indicate a strong hunger for a meaningful resource for thoughtful activists. Ukockis discusses the social contexts of misogyny, such as toxic masculinity and rape culture. She traces the history of misogyny and considers its meaning today, while also proposing strategies for effective feminist action. The result is a timely text that offers concrete guidance as we strive for the egalitarian society that we are capable of achieving. -- adapted from jacket
