For this month’s FemTech Book Club we’ll be discussing Hags: The Demonisation of Middle-Aged Women by Victoria Smith.
Hags asks the question why middle-aged women are treated with such active disdain in society. Each chapter takes a different theme - care work, beauty, violence, political organization, sex - and explores it in relation to middle-aged women's beliefs, bodies and choices. Victoria Smith traces the attitudes she describes back to the same anxieties about older women that drove Early Modern witch hunts, and explores the very specific reasons why this type of misogyny is so powerful today.
IMPT: Please register for the event on Eventbrite.
