Savigny's important book brilliantly illuminates the ways cultural sexism is embedded in every aspect of our lives, from the workplace to home to the streets. She asks us to consider how patriarchy has been reinvented in recent years, and calls on us to harness our rage in response, and repoliticize sexism. This is an essential guide for all of us thinking about the relationships between feminism, sexism and misogyny in the current moment. Sarah Banet-Weiser, London School of Economics and Political Science An accessible account of the persistence of contemporary sexism, making a passionate case for the necessity of political and structural analysis to make the workings of sexism visible as a precursor to dismantling it. Karen Boyle, University of Strathclyde A powerful contextualization of the barriers to change, doing justice to our feminist legacies, while operationalizing the core ground of political, social and media theory. Savigny gives us the clarity and vision to 'rage, reverse and repoliticize'. All men should read this ... it is time to get onboard. Helen Wood, University of Lancaster
