Unspeakable Things

the long version

Smart, clear-eyed and irreverent, 'Unspeakable Things' is a fresh look at gender and power in the 21st century which asks difficult questions about dissent and desire, money and masculinity, sexual violence, menial work, mental health, queer politics and the Internet. Journalist and activist Laurie Penny draws on a broad history of feminist thought and her own experience in radical subcultures in Britain and America to debate cultural phenomena from economic justice and the Occupy movement, through eating disorders and social control, to online dating and freedom of speech.
