Publisher's Summary

The feminist book they tried to ban in France.

Women, especially feminists and lesbians, have long been accused of hating men. Our instinct is to deny it at all costs. (After all, women have been burnt at the stake for admitting to less.)

But what if mistrusting men, disliking men - and yes, maybe even hating men - is, in fact, a useful response to sexism? What if such a response offers a way out of oppression, a means of resistance? What if it even offers a path to joy, solidarity and sisterhood?

In this sparkling essay, as mischievous and provocative as it is urgent and serious, Pauline Harmange interrogates modern attitudes to feminism and makes a rallying cry for women to find a greater love for each other - and themselves.

What the critics say

"Written in wise prose, devoid of excess or rage, I Hate Men explores the terrain of contemporary feminism, its arguments in keeping with those of writers like Rebecca Solnit, as well as the movement's key ideas: patriarchy, the mental load, #MeToo and solidarity." (L’Obs)

"A delightful book." (Roxane Gay)

"A good book, written from a burning heart but with a cool head." (The Times)

Magnificent

Loved it, for every woman who wants to know what womenhood is and is not.

More men should read this

This was a great listen! So much validation in such a short little book. I hope more allied men take the time to listen to it (read it once it's in print in English). It is fun and funny and full of great stats and motivation for sister solidarity.
