Power and control on- and offline

[NNEDV]

Throughout the book, Rebecca Solnit makes a strong case that links silencing women with more extreme forms of violence. In one essay, “The Longest War,” she compares the extreme harassment and threats made by proponents of Gamergate with the violence of the Taliban. She writes:

“Both are trying to silence and punish women for claiming voice, power, and the right to participate.” (p.30)
