Rezensionen

'Verity Trott's Feminist Activism and Platform Politics does a brilliant job of describing and analysing individual actions and #hashtag activism but setting them in the context from which these actions emerge. Read right to the end to discover why it's #yesallwomen. Scholarly but also beautifully written.'

Dr Jenna Price, Australian National University, Australia.

'Feminist Activism and Platform Politics provides a timely and compelling intervention into the complexities of digital spaces as sites of gendered violence and feminist resistance. Verity Trott offers a thoughtful and nuanced account of how platform architecture, misogyny and resistance are deeply intertwined.'

Dr Bianca Fileborn, University of Melbourne, Australia.
