Why has the digital revolution been damaging for so many women? And
what can be done about it? The Threat explores today's digital
capitalism through the prism of the women who are harmed by it
globally. Some of them are victimised through digital devices.
Others are exploited while producing them. And some don't even have
access to the Internet, but are brutally raped in wars funded by
the minerals that make our tablets work. With the help of
individuals' stories and interviews, activist and academic Dr Lilia
Giugni explores how millions of women across the world are
violated, exploited and marginalised due to processes of
technological change. She unpacks the tight intersections between
technology, patriarchy and capitalism - exposing the profit-driven
market in which our digital devices are designed and built, and the
patriarchal society that shapes who gets to use them and how. Above
all, Lilia Giugni gives us very practical ideas to help us take
back the tech: turning technology into a truly emancipatory force
and a leverage to create a better and more just future for women
and for all. 'A brilliant and engaging expose of how the forces of
capitalism and patriarchy penetrate our digital world - and what
women can do to fight back.' Hannah Jewell, author of 100 Nasty
Women of History
