In a culture that's driven by social media, women are using this online space to come together, share their stories and encourage a new generation to recognise the problems that women face. This book is a call to arms in a new wave of feminism, and it proves sexism is endemic - socially, politically and economically Titel: Everyday sexism Udgave: This edition Genre: kunst_kultur Sammendrag: Efter en række seksistiske hændelser starter den unge journalist Laura Bates online-projektet "Everyday Sexism" for at indsamle kvinders beretninger om hverdagssexisme. Responsen bliver overvældende, og historierne viser et mønster af chikane, diskrimination og vold, som spænder fra seksuelle kommentarer og overgreb i det offentlige rum til uligeløn, sexisme på arbejdspladsen og kønsstereotyper i politik og medier. Bogen væver personlige historier sammen med analyse af strukturel ulighed og viser, hvo

Journalist Rebecca Traister’s New York Times bestselling exploration of the transformative power of female anger and its ability to transcend into a political movement is “a hopeful, maddening compendium of righteous feminine anger, and the good it can do when wielded efficiently—and collectively” (Vanity Fair). Long before Pantsuit Nation, before the Women’s March, and before the #MeToo movement, women’s anger was not only politically catalytic—but politically problematic. The story of female fury and its cultural significance demonstrates its crucial role in women’s slow rise to political power in America, as well as the ways that anger is received when it comes from women as opposed to when it comes from men. “Urgent, enlightened…realistic and compelling…Traister eloquently highlights the challenge of blaming not just forces and systems, but individuals” (The Washington Post).
