challenging emotional informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

This is an incredibly informative and important book that i recommend everyone reads. Bates offers an accessible and gripping look into the world of misogyny and sexism, especially in online spaces, that shows all the ways in which the world still often times turns a blind eye or even unactively supports misogyny. 

This is a rather heavy book, with discussions around sexual assault, murder and harassment, but I think it’s incredibly important to read if you feel you can handle those topics. The author uses a mixture of her own experiences, interviews with other victims, academics and activists, and her own research into the world of online misogyny to create a concise discussion about sexism and what the world can do to tackle it.

This is essential reading for everyone as the subject matter is important. However, I didn't find this very easy to read. It felt at times like a list of facts, rather than a story woven together to illustrate facts and opinions.
