The Misogyny Factor

Second Hand

Excellent Condition

In 2012, Anne Summers gave two landmark speeches about women in Australia, attracting more than 120,000 visits to her website. Within weeks of their delivery, Prime Minister Julia Gillard's own speech about misogyny and sexism went viral and was celebrated around the world.

Summers makes the case that Australia, the land of the fair go, still hasn't figured out how to make equality between men and women work. She shows how uncomfortable we are with the idea of women with political and financial power, let alone the reality.

Summers dismisses the idea that we should celebrate progress for women as opposed to outright success, and in The Misogyny Factor, she shows us what that success should look like.
