SUMMARY:Laurie Penny on Bitch Doctrine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very feminist evening with Laurie Penny to celebrate her new book\, Bitch Doctrine. Laurie Penny is an award-winning journalist\, essayist\, feminist activist\, and author of six books of fiction and non-fiction\, including Unspeakable Things (Bloomsbury\, 2014). Her newest book is a collection of the sharp\, biting essays of cultural criticism that have made her one of the most vibrant feminist voices of today. \nBitch Doctrine is presented as a manifesto for change\, its many essays engaging with issues of gender\, feminism\, and power – all inseparable from politics\, as Penny sees it. And as the rights of marginalized groups are increasingly threatened by the rise of conservatism in the western world\, Penny gives her voice to the resistance\, confronting social and political injustice with her dark humor and keen wit. In Bitch Doctrine\, she critiques the rise of the alt-right\, the US presidential election\, women’s traditional gender roles\, and tackles questions related to sex work\, trigger warnings\, rape culture\, cyberbullying\, and much more. \n
