How to be a woman online : surviving abuse and harassment, and how to fight back / by Jankowicz, Nina,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Security : outfitting yourself online -- Adversity : enduring trolls -- Policy : making it work for you -- Community : cultivating a circle of solidarity -- Tenacity : speaking up and fighting back."When Nina Jankowicz's first book on online disinformation was profiled in The New Yorker last year, 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 on 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"--

Everything I need I get from you : how fangirls created the Internet as we know it / by Tiffany, Kaitlyn,1993-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 275-302).Introduction -- Screaming -- Deep-Frying -- Shrines -- Trending -- Trash -- Promo -- Secrets -- Proof -- Belonging -- Power -- Conclusion: 1Dead."In 2014, on the side of a Los Angeles freeway, a One Direction fan erected a shrine in the spot where, a few hours earlier, Harry Styles had vomited. "It's interesting for sure," Styles said later, adding, "a little niche, maybe." But what seemed niche to Styles was actually a signpost for an unfathomably large, hyper-connected alternate universe: stan culture. In Everything I Need I Get from You, Kaitlyn Tiffany, a staff writer at The Atlantic and a superfan herself, guides us through the online world of fans, stans, and boybands. Along the way we meet girls who damage their lungs from screaming too loud, fans rallying together to manipulate chart numbers using complex digital subversion, and an underworld of inside jokes and shared memories surrounding band members' allergies, internet typos, and hairstyles. In the process, Tiffany makes a convincing, and often moving, argument that fangirls, in their ingenuity and collaboration, created the social internet we know today. "Before most people were using the internet for anything," Tiffany writes, "fans were using it for everything." With humor, empathy, and an insider's eye, Everything I Need I Get from You reclaims internet history for young women, establishing fandom not as the territory of hysterical girls but as an incubator for digital innovation, art, and community. From alarming, fandom-splitting conspiracy theories about secret love and fake children, to the interplays between high and low culture and capitalism, Tiffany's book is a riotous chronicle of the movement that changed the internet forever."--

Includes bibliographical references and indexes."The history of the internet is often overfocused on the grandfathers who created its architecture and protocol. But the internet is more than a network of cables, servers, and computers--it is an environment that shapes and is shaped by its inhabitants and their use. In Cyberfeminism Index, a variety of hackers, scholars, artists, and activists consider how humans might reconstruct themselves by way of technology through more than 700 short entries of radical techno-critical activism. Both a vital introduction for laypeople and a robust resource guide for educators, Cyberfeminism Index--an anti-canon, of sorts--celebrates the multiplicity of practices that fall under this imperfect categorization and makes visible cyberfeminism's long-ignored origins and its expansive legacy."--Provided by publisher

Men who hate women : from incels to pickup artists : the truth about extreme misogyny and how it affects us all / by Bates, Laura,1986-author.(CARDINAL)350142;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 347-371) and index.Introduction -- Men who hate women -- Men who prey on women -- Men who avoid women -- Men who blame women -- Men who hurt women -- Men who exploit other men -- Men who are afraid of women -- Men who don't know they hate women -- Men who hate men who hate women."Women's rights activist Laura Bates is no stranger to misogynistic attacks online, but over time, the vitriol hinted at something widespread and toxic. Men Who Hate Women examines the rise of secretive extremist communities who despise women as Bates traces the roots of misogyny across a complex spiderweb of groups. Drawing parallels to other extremist movements around the world, Bates shows what attracts men to the movement, how it grooms and radicalizes boys, the structure in which it operates, and what can be done to stop it. Most urgently of all, she follows the pathways this extreme ideology has taken from the darkest corners of the internet to emerge covertly in our mainstream media, our playgrounds, and our government. By turns fascinating and horrifying, Men Who Hate Women is a broad, unflinching account of the deep current of loathing toward women and anti-feminism that underpins our society and is a must-read for parents, educators, and anyone who believes in equality for women"--

Too close to breathe / by Kiernan, Olivia,author.(CARDINAL)417379;
"In a quiet Dublin suburb, within her pristine home, Eleanor Costello is found hanging from a rope. Detective Chief Superintendent Frankie Sheehan would be more than happy to declare it a suicide ... But the autopsy reveals poorly healed bones and old stab wounds, absent from medical records. A new cut is carefully, deliberately covered in paint. Eleanor's husband, Peter, is unreachable, missing. A search of the couple's home reveals only two signs of personality: a much-loved book on art and a laptop with access to the Dark Web. As the investigation grows more challenging, Frankie can't help but feel that something doesn't fit. And when another woman is found murdered, the same paint on her corpse, Frankie knows that unraveling Eleanor's life is the only way to find the murderer before he claims another victim"--Amazon.com.
