Product Description "An essential guide for women interested in standing up for a fairer, safer online world." Publisher's Weekly"Timely." BooklistWhen 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. Review "In this guide, a foreign affairs analyst discusses online abuse ― 'the norm for many women engaged in public discourse' ― and the ways women can protect themselves." - New York Times"A call to action for women who have experienced online abuse… the author’s forthright, sometimes blisteringly witty tone makes for smart company… A successful codification of practical, occasionally fiery methods of protection and means of attack." - Kirkus“A concise, functional handbook for women looking to combat online abuse… Jankowicz's advice is strategic, focused, and eminently usable, and her assertion that women need to be there to help one another while also fighting for change feels simultaneously supportive and motivational. This is an essential guide for women interested in standing up for a fairer, safer online world.” ―Publisher's Weekly“A timely guide with a much-needed feminist lens.” ―Booklist“Jankowicz manages to achieve a masterful literary stroke, forcing the reader to confront… very real and very uncomfortable questions. She provides readers with a mirror in which they can gaze and reflect on society today and the death or dearth (or both) of decency. It is nearly impossible in reading to not stop and ask yourself why such a book needs to be written in the first place-not its practicality or utility, but that in this day and age these behaviors are tolerated at all online (or in the real world).” ―Diplomatic Courier“A much-needed exploration of the horrific abuse she experienced and other women regularly receive in online and virtual spaces... The lines between disinformation, extremism, and online abuse are far from clear and, hopefully [the] book will spark conversation about behavior online, civility, transparency, and accountability.” ―Diplomatic Courier, Books to Watch in 2022"Solidly researched, informative, grounded, gritty,practical; as is Jankowicz and the women she knows and champions." - Kate Clanchy, UnHerd"Uses a combination of academic research, interviews and Jankowicz’s own experience to outline a step-by-step plan for handling an inevitable part of being a woman, particularly a woman with another marginalized identity, online: harassment and abuse." - Katelyn Fossett, POLITICO's Women Rule"Asuccinct, eye-opening and infinitely useful guide to safely navigating the internet, the book offers clear, easy-to-follow advice on everything from how to shore up your online security to the best way to report unacceptable behaviour to the leading social media platforms." - Buzz Magazine "A relevant and useful book." - Irish Tech News "Timely, informative, thoughtful and thought-provoking, How to Be A Woman Online must be considered basic and essential reading for female researchers, journalists and all other women having a profile in the online and social media space. Exceptionally well written, organized, and presented, How to Be A Woman Online is and unreservedly recommended addition to community, college, and university library Contemporary W
