She’s a proper hero at the coal mouth.’ Caitlin Moran ‘Laura Bates has done it again. From bantz to outright brutality, she exposes the landscape of misogyny.

Ideas are spread from the darkest corners of the internet – via trolls, media and celebrities – to schools, workplaces and the corridors of power, becoming a part of our collective consciousness. Uncensored, and sometimes both shocking and terrifying – this is the uncomfortable truth about the world we live in. And what we must do to change it.
