Unspeakable Things is a fresh look at gender and power in the twenty-first century. It asks difficult questions about dissent and desire, money and masculinity, sexual violence, menial work, mental health, queer politics, and the Internet.

Laurie Penny, a celebrated journalist and activist, draws on a broad history of feminist thought and her own experience in radical subcultures in America and Britain to take on cultural phenomena from the Occupy movement to online dating. She provides her unique spin on economic justice and freedom of speech and offers candid personal insight to rally the defensive against eating disorders, sexual assault, and internet trolls.

Unspeakable Things is a book that is eye-opening not only in the critique it provides but also in the revolutionary alternatives it imagines. It speaks for a new feminism that is about justice and equality, but also about freedom for all. It's about the freedom to be who we are, to love who we choose, to invent new gender roles, and to speak out fiercely against those who would deny us those rights.
