Join our online Socialist Feminist Book Club, hosted by Workers' Liberty.

For our October meeting, we’ll be reading Pink Pilled by Lois Shearing—a bold and timely exploration of feminism and online radicalisation. Ideally, read the whole book if you can, but if you're short on time, feel free to focus on the chapters that resonate most with you.

FROM THE BLURB:A daring investigation into how women are recruited by the far right online. As the far right has gained popularity and acceptance around the world, its ranks have swelled with an unlikely category of members: women. Women play significant roles in far-right movements, acting as propagandists, prizes to be won and mother-warriors of the nation. But up to now their activities have been largely overlooked. In Pink-pilled, journalist Lois Shearing interviews leading experts and infiltrates communities of tradwives and femtrolls to provide a cutting-edge account of how the far right uses the internet to recruit women. Shining a light on women’s experiences within these movements, Shearing reveals horrifying examples of misogyny and violence.
