"This book is a thought-provoking read in its own right. Anderson's
narrative weaves together a cogent argument about why feminism is
just as necessary as it ever was--or
maybe, because of the backlash against it, more necessary than it
ever was. In an academic setting, this book could be paired with
other primary sources for an advanced undergraduate, capstone, or
graduate course in social psychology or women's studies for an
in-depth examination of a number of different social psychological
and feminist themes. It also lends itself to a pop culture or
sociology course for related topics." --Paige Muellerleile,
Psychology of Women Quarterly
"Modern Misogyny is an important and valuable work that needs to be
required reading for feminists and non-feminists alike. Anderson
demonstrates why feminism as a collective effort for societal
change is still vitally necessary in the U.S. the 21st century."
--Kimberly Fairchild
