Laurie Penny har länge låtit tala om sig som en av våra mest angelägna och livfulla feministiska röster. I Bitchdoktrinen analyserar hon den feministiska backlashen i en tid som domineras av "kamikaze-kapitalism", sociala medier och nättroll. Med sin unika kombination av humor, intelligens och kompromisslöshet tar hon sig an sexism, relationer och makt - och hatkärleken till James Bond.

Oavsett ämne är det alltid fantastiskt underhållande och djupt upprörande läsning, men aldrig nedslående. Penny ger oss både hopp och verktyg för förändring.

"Även oliktänkande borde läsa Laurie Pennys Bitchdoktrinen, där träffsäkra iakttagelser och stilistisk precision gör varje ämne intressant. [...] Radikalare, roligare och mer utmanande än någonting annat i genren." Flamman, Malin Nauwerck  

"Queer underhållning som bjuder tuggmotsånd. [...] perfekt för alla som vill förstå den politik där akronymen hbtq är lika central som någonsin" SvD, Fredrik Sjöberg.
