About this book
"Laura Bates has challenged the normalization of sexism, and created a place where both men and women can see it and change it." —Gloria Steinem
The Everyday Sexism Project was founded by writer and activist Laura Bates in April 2012. It began life as a website where people could share their experiences of daily, normalized sexism, from street harassment to workplace discrimination to sexual assault and rape.
The Project became a viral sensation, attracting international press attention from The New York Times to French Glamour, Grazia South Africa, to the Times of India and support from celebrities such as Rose McGowan, Amanda Palmer, Mara Wilson, Ashley Judd, James Corden, Simon Pegg, and many others. The project has now collected over 100,000 testimonies from people around the world and launched new branches in twenty-five countries worldwide. Everyday Sexism has been credited with helping to spark a new wave of feminism.
"Laura Bates didn't just begin a movement, she has started a revolution." —Liz Plank, Senior Correspondent at Mic and host of Flip the Script
"A startlingly astute analysis on violence and inequality." —Lauren Wolfe, journalist and Director of the Women's Media Center's Women Under Siege Project
"Powerful." —Stephen Dunbar-Johnson, President of International at The New York Times
"Pioneering." — Telegraph
"A must-read for every woman." — Cosmopolitan (UK)
"This is an important work and if I had my way would be compulsory school reading across the globe." — Feminist Times
"Laura Bates deftly makes visible the spider web of oppression that holds us back and binds us all together." —Jaclyn Friedman, co-author of Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape
