Shortlisted for The Green Carnation Prize 2014''This is not a fairytale. This is a story about how sex and money and power police our dreams.''Clear-eyed, witty and irreverent, Laurie Penny is as ruthless in her dissection of modern feminism and class politics as she is in discussing her own experiences in journalism, activism and underground culture. This is a book about poverty and prejudice, online dating and eating disorders, riots in the streets and lies on the television. The backlash is on against sexual freedom for men and women and social justice – and feminism needs to get braver.Penny speaks for a new feminism that takes no prisoners, a feminism that is about justice and equality, but also about freedom for all. It''s about the freedom to be who we are, to love who we choose, to invent new gender roles, and to speak out fiercely against those who would deny us those rights. It is a book that gives the silenced a voice – a voice that speaks of unspeakable things. - E-bokEngelska, 2013

''The Internet was supposed to be for everyone... Millions found their voices in this brave new online world; it gave unheard masses the space to speak to each other without limits, across borders, both physical and social. It was supposed to liberate us from gender. But as more and more of our daily lives migrated on line, it seemed it did matter if you were a boy or a girl.'' It''s a tough time to be a woman on the internet. Over the past two generations, the political map of human relations has been redrawn by feminism and by changes in technology. Together they pose questions about the nature and organisation of society that are deeply challenging to those in power, and in both cases, the backlash is on. In this brave new world, old-style sexism is making itself felt in new and frightening ways. In Cybersexism, Laurie Penny goes to the dark heart of the matter and asks why threats of rape and violence are being used to try to silence female voices, analyses the structure of online misogyny, and makes a case for real freedom of speech – for everyone. Laurie Penny''s forthcoming book, Unspeakable Things: Sex, Lies and Revolution, will be published in 2014. - Häftad, Engelska, 2015

DISCORDIA is a story of courage and collapse in a country and a culture struggling to map out its future. A short ebook combining a 24,000-word essay with 36 detailed drawings, DISCORDIA is a feminist-art-gonzo-journalism project conceived at Occupy Wall Street and created in the summer of debt and doubt after the euphoric street protests of 2011-2012.In July 2012, artist Molly Crabapple and journalist Laurie Penny travelled to Greece. There, they drew and interviewed anarchists, autonomists, striking workers and ordinary people caught up in the Euro crisis. DISCORDIA is the result. In an impassioned climate where ‘objective’ journalism is impossible, Penny and Crabapple offer a snapshot of a nation in the grip of a very modern crisis where young and old see little reason to go on, the left is scattered and the far right is assuming greater power and influence. Along the way they drink far too much coffee, become hypnotised by street art, and somehow manage not to get arrested or mugged.DISCORDIA is an experiment in form, using the illustrated ebook format to its fullest extent to tell a story unique to the wordlength and digital platform involved. Crabapple's intricate, Victorian-inspired ink drawings lend a timeless quality to what is a conscious foray into a new kind of journalism - inspired by the New Journalism of the 1970s, in particular the art-journalism collaborations of Hunter Thompson and Ralph Steadman, but reworking that tradition for a 21st century world where young women must still fight at every turn to be taken seriously.DISCORDIA weaves together the personal and political, picking out those elements of the Greek crisis that are recognisable across the West to a generation struggling to articulate its purpose in a world of spiralling unemployment, democratic collapse and civil unrest. The solutions to the failure of modern neoliberal statecraft are very different to the 'tune in, turn on, drop out' ethos of the sixties: these days the drugs are worse and rock 'n' roll can't save us. The future is a question in search of an answer.Available only digitally, with a foreword by economic journalist and writer Paul Mason, this beautifully illustrated ebook is part-polemic, part-travelogue and part-paean to the birthplace of civilization brought to its knees. Part of the Brain Shot series, the pre-eminent source of short form digital non-fiction.'This is the Next Big Thing in journalism: digital, visual, intelligent, heartfelt, post-political, female, alarming, and engaging. It's both an honest chronicle of one corner of the collapse of a civilization, and an inspiring demonstration of the kinds of thinking, craft, and collaboration that might yet get us through.'

Shortlisted for the Green Carnation Prize 2014Laurie Penny, one of our most prominent young voices of feminism and dissent, presents a trenchant report on our society today--and our society tomorrow, as she is willing to fight to see it.Smart, clear-eyed, and irreverent, Unspeakable Things is a fresh look at gender and power in the twenty-first century, which asks difficult questions about dissent and desire, money and masculinity, sexual violence, menial work, mental health, queer politics, and the Internet.Celebrated journalist and activist Laurie Penny draws on a broad history of feminist thought and her own experience in radical subcultures in America and Britain to take on cultural phenomena from the Occupy movement to online dating, give her unique spin on economic justice and freedom of speech, and provide candid personal insight to rally the defensive against eating disorders, sexual assault, and internet trolls. Unspeakable Things is a book that is eye-opening not only in the critique it provides, but also in the revolutionary alternatives it imagines. - Häftad, Engelska, 2011

Modern culture is obsessed with controlling women's bodies. Our societies are saturated with images of unreal, idealised female beauty whilst real female bodies and the women who inhabit them are alienated from their own personal and political potential. Under modern capitalism, women are both consumers and consumed: Meat Market offers strategies for resisting this gory cycle of consumption, exposing how the trade in female flesh extends into every part of women's political selfhood. Touching on sexuality, prostitution, hunger, consumption, eating disorders, housework, transsexualism and the global trade in the signs and signifiers of femininity, Meat Market is a thin, bloody sliver of feminist dialectic, dissecting women's bodies as the fleshy fulcrum of capitalist cannibalism. - E-bokEngelska, 2011

ATT VARA UNG KVINNA IDAG är mer uppfuckat än någonsin. Alla älskar att förfasa sig över å ena sidan dina utseendenojor, dina klädval, din sexualitet och samtidigt över hur du riskerar att utnyttjas och hur dåligt självförtroende du har. En hel kultur projicerar sina förväntningar, moralneuroser och förbjudna lustar på dig.Det är dags att ge fan i det, skriver Laurie Penny. Och det är dags för en ny feminism en feminism som är modigare, mer radikal än någonsin. Med skarp blick analyserar hon den moderna feminismen och klasspolitiken, lika väl som sina egna erfarenheter av att formas till kvinna.Sex, lögner och revolution är en arg men också humoristisk bok om fattigdom och fördomar, nätdejting och ätstörningar, upplopp på gatorna och lögner på tv och framför allt om hur kön, makt och pengar styr inte bara våra liv utan också våra drömmar.»Oundgänglig för alla som verkligen tror på frihet och jämlikhet.«IRVINE WELSH»En rå, begåvad, angelägen röst.«THE GUARDIAN»Imponerande, inspirerande och, misstänker jag, ett viktigt manifest.«FINANCIAL TIMES - E-bokSvenska

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. - Inbunden, Svenska, 2018

"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.

I de tider av kollaps och reaktionära tyranner som vi befinner oss i, bevittnar vi också en produktiv omvandling: genomgripande och permanenta förändringar i hur vi definierar genus, kön, samtycke och vems kroppar som spelar roll. Vi lever i en tid av kreativ olydnad, av nyskapande i sättet vi organiserar vård och omsorg, privat och offentligt.
Men de här förändringarna hotar också de sociala och ekonomiska pelare som vi tidigare lutat oss mot; de hotar befintliga maktstrukturer och undergräver auktoriteten i våra samhälleliga institutioner från arbetsplatsen till kärnfamiljen.
Inte konstigt att extremhögern får kämpa så hårt! En omvälvning i sexuella och könsrelationer innebär också en omvälvning i det politiska, ekonomiska och sociala livet. Insatserna kunde inte vara högre.
Det här är en handgranat till bok, ett manifest för social förändring och en berättelse om hur feminismen kan rädda världen.
LAURIE PENNY, född 1986, är en brittisk författare och journalist. Hen skriver för bland andra Vice och The Guardian. 23 år gammal var hen den yngsta personen någonsin att nomineras till Orwell Prize för sin omtalade och välbesökta blogg Penny Red.
"... Penny skräder inte orden. Det är rått, ärligt, provocerande och obekvämt, vilket utmanar läsarens egna uppfattningar om världen. Ett feministiskt manifest som emellanåt känns som ett välbehövligt slag rakt i solar plexus. Med ett lättillgängligt och fyndigt språk, kombinerat med en översättning med finess av Bogg Johanna Karlsson, är detta utan tvekan en av årets mest intressanta böcker om feminism, sex och makt. Helhetsbetyg: 5 (av 5)." BTJ, Camilla Bergvall
