Description

A daring investigation that explores how women are targeted and recruited by the far right.

As the far right has gained popularity and acceptance around the world, its ranks have swelled with an unlikely category of members: women.

Women play significant roles in far-right movements, acting as propagandists, prizes to be won and mother-warriors of the nation. But up to now their activities have been largely overlooked. In Pink-pilled, Lois Shearing provides a cutting-edge account of how the far right has used the internet to recruit women, while shedding light on what life is like for women within these movements, including their experiences of misogyny and violence.

Understanding how and why women join movements that explicitly aim to restrict their autonomy is essential if we want to fight back. Pink-pilled offers key insights for countering womens radicalisation and building communities resistant to far-right thought.
