Synopsis

"An essential guide for women interested in standing up for a fairer, safer online world." Publisher's Weekly"Timely." BooklistWhen 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 researchers, journalists and all women with a profile in the online space.

Goodreads review by James on September 19, 2022

To see why this book matters, you can look at some of the reviews on Goodreads, which have nothing to do with the book itself but are an indictment of its author, typically based upon misinformation.
