I Hate Men by Pauline Harmange

‘A good book, written from a burning heart but with a cool head’ The Times

‘Rousing … a call to liberationHer writing is full of hope, unwavering in its trust of other women and their abilities’ Independent

‘An exhilarating essay to be read in one sitting’ Libération

‘Written in wise prose, devoid of excess or rage, I Hate Men explores the terrain of contemporary feminism, its arguments in keeping with those of writers like Rebecca Solnit, as well as the movement's key ideas: patriarchy, the mental load, #MeToo and solidarity’ L’Obs

I Hate Men is Pauline Harmange’s first book. Originally published by Monstrograph as Moi les hommes, je les déteste, it was subject to a censorship attempt by an adviser in France’s Ministry for Gender Equality in September 2020. Sales skyrocketed as a result and the French rights were then acquired by Éditions du Seuil, and the foreign rights snapped up by publishers around the world. Pauline Harmange lives in Lille.
