'Captivating, emphatic and deeply inspiring, Sexual Revolution lifted me greatly by envisioning the possibilities of our moment' V (formerly Eve Ensler)

'Brilliant; vital; revolutionary' Kate Manne

This is a story about how modern masculinity is killing the world, and how feminism can save it. It’s a story about sex and power and trauma and resistance and persistence.

Sex and gender are changing, and the world is changing with them. In this time of crisis, we are also witnessing a productive transformation: a revolutionary change in how we define gender, sex, consent and whose bodies matter.

This sexual revolution is a threat to the social and economic order. It undermines the existing power structures and weakens the authority of institutions from the waged workplace to the nuclear family. No wonder the far right is fighting back so hard.

Told with Laurie Penny’s trademark urgency and candour, Sexual Revolution is a hand-grenade of a book: both a manifesto for social change and a story of how feminism can save us.

Reviews for Sexual Revolution: Modern Fascism and the Feminist Fightback

I can't really think of another writer who so consistently and bravely keeps thinking and talking and learning and trying to make the world better -- Caitlin Moran A writer and polemicist, a bad-ass, contrary, angry, bisexual troublemaker who is never happier than when she's upsetting someone, or preferably everyone ... We need her * The Times * One of the most accomplished and acerbic of the new, young journalists emerging from the protest movements of the 2010s, [Penny] takes you to the front trench of the gender war and keeps you there longer than anyone should really stay -- Praise for 'Bitch Doctrine', Paul Mason * Guardian *
