Description
When Nina Jankowicz's first book on online disinformation was profiled in The New Yorker, she expected attention but not an avalanche of abuse and harassment, predominantly from men, online.
All women in politics, journalism and academia now face untold levels of harassment and abuse in online spaces. Together with the world's leading extremism researchers, Jankowicz wrote one of the definitive reports on this troubling phenomenon.
Drawing on rigorous research into the treatment of Kamala Harris - the first woman vice-president - and other political and public figures, Nina also uses her own experiences to provide a step-by-step plan for dealing with harassment, abuse, doxing and disinformation in online spaces.
The result is a must-read for all women with a profile in the online space.
Advance Praise
“A concise, functional handbook for women looking to combat online abuse… Jankowicz’s advice is strategic, focused, and eminently usable, and her assertion that women need to be there to help one another while also fighting for change feels simultaneously supportive and motivational. This is an essential guide for women interested in standing up for a fairer, safer online world.” Publisher's Weekly
"Jankowicz has built an essential toolkit which empowers us all to fight back and protect ourselves [online]. We need a better internet, and this book is an important step in getting us there.'" Actress and activist, Alyssa Milano
