Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny

Down Girl is a broad, original, and far ranging analysis of what misogyny is and how it works. The philosopher Kate Manne argues that modern society's failure to recognize women's full humanity and autonomy is not actually the problem. She argues instead that it is women's manifestations of human capacities -- autonomy, agency, political engagement -- is what engenders misogynist hostility.
