'"The tussle between men and women is a culture war as old as humanity itself."
Mary Harrington is an author and contributing editor for UnHerd. She also runs her own weekly Substack named "Reactionary Feminist," a term she coined. She frequently writes on political and cultural topics such as the side effects of globalization and criticisms of identity politics.
Her debut novel Feminism Against Progress tackles women's rights in the biotech age, arguing that progress has now stopped benefiting the majority of women. She argues we are pursuing a freedom from our embodied selves and replacing our relationships with individual desires, resulting in porn addiction and hook-up culture, plastic surgery and gender reassignent treatments, low birth rates and an epidemic of loneliness.
"Harrington has an original mind, a gift for polemic [...] this is an exhilarating read." — The New Statesman on Feminism Against Progress
