En Garde by Sarah Hanson-Young
4.0

Senator Hanson-Young hasn’t just written an essay detailing this disgusting abuse she encounters daily in her job. This is a rousing call to arms for every girl, woman and woman-identifying person in Australia. A call to fight back against right-wing, white and predominately male (I would be remiss to not include Pauline Hanson) bullies running our country. This is a must-read for every woman and every man who doesn’t think is as bad as we keep saying it is.

Thank you Sarah, for being a voice of reason inside the Senate. Thank you for battling the front line of rampant misogyny and bullying. Thank you for giving us a voice.

This essay made me rage, it was passionate and detailed, but also ranty and inconclusive. I wanted an action plan dammit!

Solid 4*
