'Following [Everyday Sexism] will make most women feel oddly saner.' Caitlin Moran<BR>'Piercingly astute.' Stylist<BR><BR>Laura Bates, pioneering feminist, activist and bestselling author, has given voice to hundreds of thousands of women through her international Everyday Sexism Project. Drawing attention to both hidden and blatant sexist acts and attitudes, Laura has exposed the startling truth behind misogyny in our society: systemic, ingrained and ignored.<BR> <BR>From Weinstein to Westminster, a torrent of allegations of sexual harassment and assault have left us reeling.

Often dismissed as one-offs, veiled as 'banter' or described as 'isolated incidents', MISOGYNATION joins the dots to reveal the true scale of discrimination and prejudice women face.  <BR><BR>A bold, witty and incisive analysis of current events, MISOGYNATION makes a passionate argument for stepping back, opening our eyes and allowing ourselves to see the bigger picture.<BR><BR>**From the author of The New Age of Sexism and Men Who Hate Women**
