Not All Dead White Men by Donna Zuckerberg
Classics and Misogyny in the Digital Age
This insightful work delves into the appropriation of classical texts by online communities, particularly those within the "manosphere," who use ancient literature to justify misogynistic and regressive ideologies. By examining how these groups selectively interpret works from figures like Ovid and Seneca, the book highlights the troubling ways in which classical antiquity is manipulated to support modern-day gender biases. Through a critical lens, it explores the intersection of classical scholarship and contemporary digital culture, urging readers to reconsider the role of ancient texts in today's sociopolitical landscape.
