Another insightful, informative non fiction book about misogyny and sexism from Laura Bates. This book focuses on systems of political and social power that work to oppress women, using examples from the Everyday Sexism project to illustrate the dire need for reforms from the UK government.
Although I preferred Misogynation (simply because it's longer and more in-depth), I found this book similarly engaging. Reading this made me angry at how mistreated women are in schools, universities, workplaces, and other other structural organisations. Laura Bates is spot on when she advocates for an overhaul of laws, bodies of power (the police) and systems (like secondary education) in order to root out misogyny at the highest level.
