The Politicization of Mumsnet by Sarah Pedersen
The Politicization of Mumsnetinvestigates the growing politicization of this parenting discussion forum and its use by politicians to influence middle-class women in the UK.
'This book dispels two myths about mumsnet: that it is heaving with entitled, middle-class yummy mummies, or drowning in hate and bigotryWhat Sarah Pedersen illustrates is that mumsnet is today a key route into feminism for both women stuck at home with toddlers, and those who understand that women do have some shared experiences -and not just having children or not. This book is informative, amusing and a call to feminist action.' -- Julie Bindel
