About the Book

Surviving a Patriarchy on Steroids tells it like it is, encouraging us all to keep on loving, hoping, resisting, creating, and dancing, despite it all.

Book Synopsis

The patriarchy getting you down? This is the book for you.

In thirteen reflections-because thirteen is a witchy number-lucky for women, unlucky for the patriarchy-Stephanie Davies tackles the everyday reality of women with stories that include the legacy of the witch hunters, getting tongue-tied in the presence of domineering men, the patriarchal obsession with the binary, the pandemic of male violence, and whether her dog is a victim of the patriarchy.

Stephanie offers a beacon of feminist light in this time of darkness. She captures the rage and grief we often feel as we navigate a world where male violence is on overdrive. And she offers a tribute to women everywhere-their solidarity, creativity, and spirit-as they've resisted misogyny for centuries and continue to resist it now more than ever.

Surviving a Patriarchy on Steroids tells it like it is, while encouraging us all to keep on loving, hoping, resisting, creating, and dancing, despite it all.
