Hags: The demonisation of middle-aged women

BOOK DESCRIPTION

What is about women in their forties and beyond that seems to enrage... almost everyone? In the last few years, middle-aged women have found themselves talked and written about as morally inferior beings: the face of bigotry, entitlement and selfishness, to be ignored, pities or abused.

In Hags, Victoria Smith asks why these women are treated with such active disdain, exploring the very specific reasons why this type og misogyny is so very now.
