The Nuremburg trials represented what Justice Brandeis called "The sanitizing

Author Event: Amanda Marcotte and It’s a Jungle Out There: The Feminist Survival Guide to Politically Inhospitable Environments

Drawing on her personal experiences of dealing with anti-feminists—from her years of blogging about feminism and living in the woman-unfriendly state of Texas—Marcotte brings her wit and distinct lack of patience to the topic of surviving while feminist. She doles out priceless advice along the way on how not only survive but also thrive, and even how to carve out a space for your feminist self in these oft-times hostile environments.
