When Nina Jankowicz's first book on online disinformation was profiled in The New Yorker, she expected attention but not an avalanche of abuse and harassment, predominantly from men, online.

All women in politics, journalism and academia now face untold levels of harassment and abuse in online spaces. Together with the world’s leading extremism researchers, Jankowicz wrote one of the definitive reports on this troubling phenomenon.

Drawing on rigorous research into the treatment of Kamala Harris - the first woman vice-president - and other political and public figures, Nina also uses her own experiences to provide a step-by-step plan for dealing with harassment, abuse, doxing and disinformation in online spaces.

The result is a must-read for researchers, journalists and all women with a profile in the online space."

As any woman who has ever had the temerity to voice an opinion on the internet knows, it is a toxic stew of misogyny, sexual harassment, and gender-based violence... In How to Be A Woman Online, Nina Jankowicz has built an essential toolkit which empowers us all to fight back and protect ourselves. We need a better internet, and this book is an important step in getting us there. * Alyssa Milano, Actor, Activist, and Author of 'Sorry Not Sorry' *
