Female public figures are exposed to more hostilities and threats of sexual violence than men, especially online. Fuelled by right-wing networks, social media algorithms act as a multiplier. In her new non-fiction book, Ingrid Brodnig analyses how systematic intimidation is used to drive women out of politics, its ramifications for our democracy and how we can stand our ground.
