How to Be a Woman Online: Surviving Abuse and Harassment, and How to Fight Back

Nina Jankowicz ’11

How to Be a Woman Online: Surviving Abuse and Harassment, and How to Fight Back by Nina Jankowicz ’11 was described by Publishers Weekly as, “A concise, functional handbook for women looking to combat online abuse… Jankowicz’s advice is strategic, focused, and eminently usable, and her assertion that women need to be there to help one another while also fighting for change feels simultaneously supportive and motivational. This is an essential guide for women interested in standing up for a fairer, safer online world.” Drawing on rigorous research into the treatment of Kamala Harris and other political and public figures, Jankowicz also uses her own experiences to provide a step-by-step plan for dealing with harassment, abuse, doxing, and disinformation in online spaces.
