Down girl

the logic of misogyny

byKate Manne

Who is this book for? Readers interested in gender studies, social justice, and contemporary philosophy.

Topics Social JusticeGender Roles and ExpectationsIdentity
MoodReflective
Female protagonist
Down Girl is a broad, original and far ranging analysis of what misogyny really is, how it works, its purpose, and how to fight it. The philosopher Kate Manne argues that modern society's failure to recognize women's full humanity and autonomy is not actually the problem. She argues instead that it is women's manifestations of human capacities--autonomy, agency, political engagement--is what engenders misogynist hostility.
