Produktbeschreibung

'Captivating, emphatic and deeply inspiring, Sexual Revolution lifted me greatly by envisioning the possibilities of our moment' V (formerly Eve Ensler)

'Brilliant; vital; revolutionary' Kate Manne
_________________

This is a story about how modern masculinity is killing the world, and how feminism can save it. It's a story about sex and power and trauma and resistance and persistence.

Sex and gender are changing, and the world is changing with them. In this time of crisis, we are also witnessing a productive transformation: a revolutionary change in how we define gender, sex, consent and whose bodies matter.

This sexual revolution is a threat to the social and economic order. It undermines the existing power structures and weakens the authority of institutions from the waged workplace to the nuclear family. No wonder the far right is fighting back so hard.

Told with Laurie Penny's trademark urgency and candour, Sexual Revolution is a hand-grenade of a book: both a manifesto for social change and a story of how feminism can save us.

Rezensionen

This is a voice of blazing fury. These are the clear, ferocious words of a millennial, intersectional feminist . . . Penny connects up the dots of the many issues impacting on women's lives and links them through to the attitudes of a patriarchal, racist and capitalist society . . . The book contains many blistering arguments, including the reminder that what we are tackling is not just one sexual violence case but a whole culture . . . Sexual Revolution provides an analysis of how far we have yet to go Herald
