I Hate Men: More than a banned book, the must-read on feminism, sexism and the patriarchy for every woman

The feminist book they tried to ban in France ‘A delightful book’ Roxane Gay Women, especially feminists and lesbians, have long been accused of hating men. Our instinct is to deny it at all costs. (After all, women have been burnt at the stake for admitting to less.) But what if mistrusting men, disliking men – and yes, maybe even hating men – is, in fact, a useful response to sexism? What if such a response offers a way out of oppression, a means of resistance? What if it even offers a path to joy, solidarity and sisterhood? In this sparkling essay, as mischievous and provocative as it is urgent and serious, Pauline Harmange interrogates modern attitudes to feminism and makes a rallying cry for women to find a greater love for each other – and themselves. Pauline Harmange's work is a top-rated exploration of modern attitudes towards feminism in Europe, a short yet impactful autobiography that delves into the social and political aspects of sexism. It's not just a biography, but a collection of essays that challenge the status quo and inspire a greater love for sisterhood and self. For fans of Rebecca Solnit (Recollections of My Non-Existence), Florence Given (Women Don't Owe You Pretty), Bell Hooks (All About Love), Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), and Virginie Despentes (Vernon Subutex Two).
