Bates, Laura

"When a small plane crash ends with a group of seven teens washed up on a deserted island, their first thought is survival. With supplies dwindling and the fear of being stranded forever becoming more of a reality, they quickly discover that being the most popular kid in high school doesn't help when you're fighting to stay alive. And when strange and terrifying accidents start to occur all around them, the group realizes that they are being targeted by someone who was on the plane, and that the island isn't their only danger"--OCLC.

"Women's rights activist Laura Bates is no stranger to misogynistic attacks online, but over time, the vitriol hinted at something widespread and toxic. Men Who Hate Women examines the rise of secretive extremist communities who despise women as Bates traces the roots of misogyny across a complex spiderweb of groups. Drawing parallels to other extremist movements around the world, Bates shows what attracts men to the movement, how it grooms and radicalizes boys, the structure in which it operates, and what can be done to stop it. Most urgently of all, she follows the pathways this extreme ideology has taken from the darkest corners of the internet to emerge covertly in our mainstream media, our playgrounds, and our government. By turns fascinating and horrifying, Men Who Hate Women is a broad, unflinching account of the deep current of loathing toward women and anti-feminism that underpins our society and is a must-read for parents, educators, and anyone who believes in equality for women"--.

After experiencing a series of escalating sexist incidents, from being harassed and wolf-whistled at on the street, to discrimination in the workplace and serious sexual assault, Laura Bates started the Everyday Sexism Project and has gone on to write 'a pioneering analysis of modern day misogyny.' The project became one of the biggest social media success stories of the internet. Bates inspires women to lead a real change and writes this book that is a protest against inequality and a manifesto for change.

Shakespeare professor and prison volunteer Laura Bates discusses her time teaching Shakespeare to prisoners, how she became friends with Larry Newton, and how they bonded over the playwright.

"In a culture that's driven by social media, women are using this online space to come together, share their stories and encourage a new generation to recognise the problems that women face. This book is a call to arms in a new wave of feminism, and it proves sexism is endemic - socially, politically and economically - but women won't stand for it."--Provided by publisher.
