Karla Mantilla is managing editor at Feminist Studies, an interdisciplinary women's studies journal.

Reviews

Mantilla's work is valuable . . . for gathering firsthand voices of gendertrolling victims about their experiences, reactions, and attempts to fight back. Furthermore, the author successfully contextualizes gendertrolling in the history of misogyny. By doing so, she persuasively argues that gendertrolling is not unique to digital experiences but is a new form of misogyny and abuse against women. She lists various recommendations for legal protections and strategies to fight against gendertrolling and generate solutions. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels/libraries.
*Choice*

The contemporary issues addressed in the book are relevant to undergraduate and graduate instructors seeking to offer guidance in new media, prejudice, and the ethics of unrestricted 'free speech' in Internet environments. Each chapter can be taught independently, allowing for text-based questions and discussion in a small graduate-level seminar or a large undergraduate lecture. . . . Mantilla's book has utility beyond the classroom settingbecause it contributes to a larger cultural conversation concerning the regulation of online sexist speech.
