Pink-pilled by Lois Shearing

This daring book explores how and why women are radicalised into far-right movements online and offers advice for fighting back against this alarming trend. -- .

'Lois Shearing is unflinching about the role of women – and even of certain feminisms – in contemporary Anglo-American alt-right and neo-Nazi radicalisationA gruesomely engaging study, Pink-pilled urges us to pay better heed to the white-supremacist work that fascism is doing today with cissexual femininity, in order to strengthen our ability as feminists to assert liberatory alternatives.'
Sophie Lewis, author of Enemy Feminisms

'Sharp, nuanced and thoughtful, Shearing’s analysis disentangles complex and contradictory trends in women’s willing participation in hateful movements, including misogynistic ones. Should be required reading for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary far right and its gendered dimensions.'
Cynthia Miller-Idriss, American University

'A riveting deep dive into women’s involvement in the far right and anti-LGBTQ+ rights. Pink-pilled gives an eye-opening account of the pervasive online ecosystem driven by hate and misogyny.'
Eviane Leidig, author of The Women of the Far Right

'A captivating book that shows how and why women, too, can be fascists. Lois Shearing´s Pink-pilled should be mandatory reading for scholars and journalists working on gender and the far right today.'
Inés Bolaños Somoano, IBEI Fellow in International Security at Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals
