Surviving a Patriarchy on Steroids

The patriarchy getting you down? This is the book for you.  In thirteen reflections—because thirteen is a witchy number—lucky for women, unlucky for the patriarchy—Stephanie Davies tackles the everyday reality of women with stories that include the legacy of the witch hunters, getting tongue-tied in the presence of domineering men, the patriarchal obsession with the binary, the pandemic of male violence, and whether her dog is a victim of the patriarchy. Stephanie offers a beacon of feminist light in this time of darkness. She captures the rage and grief we often feel as we navigate a world where male violence is on overdrive. And she offers a tribute to women everywhere—their solidarity, creativity, and spirit—as they've resisted misogyny for centuries and continue to resist it now more than ever. Surviving a Patriarchy on Steroids tells it like it is, while encouraging us all to keep on loving, hoping, resisting, creating, and dancing, despite it all.
