- This book is a revised, updated and expanded edition of #MeToo, Weinstein and Feminism (2019). In this second edition, Boyle argues for the importance of understanding #MeToo in relation to an ongoing history of feminist activism and popular misogyny, which normalises and values men’s abuse of women. She considers the consequences of #MeToo for accused men, notably with regards to cancellation practices and criminal justice, drawing on prominent examples such as Harvey Weinstein, R. Kelly, Johnny Depp and Woody Allen, among many others. Two new chapters—on the long #MeToo movement and on survivor testimony—consider #MeToo alongside debates on popular feminism and misogyny in a range of contexts and reflect on the implications of the continued emphasis on survivor testimony in media coverage of sexual harassment and assault. Written by one of the foremost experts in gender, media and violence in the UK, this new edition is essential reading for those interested in feminism and the media, scholars and students alike.
Karen Boyle (@ProfKarenBoyle) is Professor of Feminist Media Studies and Head of the Department of Humanities at the University of Strathclyde, UK.
