How Kindness Culture Punishes Women.
''Tackles the pervasive tide of unbridled misogyny masquerading as kindness''Julie Bindel
''Victoria Smith is a brilliant writer who every feminist should read'' Sharron Davies
''This brilliant book shows how demands for compassion and generosity can be a mask for sexist ideology'' Susanna Rustin
(Un)kind is a coruscating account of the ways in which deeply-held beliefs about women''s ''kind'' nature have been repackaged for today''s culture wars, in a society that remains dependent - socially, politically, economically - on female self-sacrifice.
Kindness culture is sold to women and girls in a multitude of guises: from play to self-help, social justice activism to empowerment. Victoria Smith argues that the pressure on women and girls has been incorporated into the ''work'' of feminism.
A compelling account of the backlash against feminism, (Un)Kind is essential reading for anyone affected by the endless exhortations for women to #BeKind.
''Brilliant... compelling'' Lucy Mangan, The i
''Erudite, blisteringly smart and profoundly compassionate'' Dr Rachel Hewitt
