The Witches Are Coming

Lindy West, the author of bestselling feminist memoir Shrill performs a cutting feminist reading of late-20th-century pop culture in her new book The Witches are Coming. With her characteristically surgical insight, she argues the often misogynistic, narcissistic, privilege promoting messages we have been haplessly absorbing for years while watching television, films and surfing the web have helped form ideologies of discontent, hostility and political instability. We all need to wake up to ‘poli-tainment’ so we can start demanding more.
