Description
In this incisive work of feminist philosophy, Kate Manne rethinks misogyny not as a matter of individual hatred, but as a social and political system that polices and punishes women who challenge patriarchal expectations. Drawing on contemporary events, philosophical analysis, and cultural criticism, she examines how misogyny operates across institutions and everyday life, shaping responses to women’s autonomy, authority, and ambition. The book offers a powerful framework for understanding gendered hostility while illuminating the structures that sustain it—and the possibilities for resisting them.
