The 2017 #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and abuse felt like a flagship moment, a time at which women were empowered to share their stories in a spirit of empowerment and solidarity and demand change. But have some men simply changed tactics? The latest addition to The Indigo Press' s Mood Indigo series sees Sam Mills, author of the acclaimed novel The Quiddity of Will Self ("ambitious and outrageous" Guardian), and recent literary memoir of caring, The Fragments of My Father ("brave and original" The Times) investigate the phenomenon of ' chauvo-feminism' , where men present themselves as feminists publicly, in order to advance their careers, while privately exhibiting chauvinistic attitudes. Through testimony from women and men, as well as her own experiences with a chauvo-feminist, Mills explores the grey areas of modern relationships, gaslighting and emotional abuse, the psychological underpinnings of the chauvo-feminist, and asks how we might move beyond ' trial by Twitter' to encourage an honest and productive dialogue between the sexes.
' A powerful and tender book. It shows us, through a fearless account of personal experience and an erudite study of the lives and letters of Leonard Woolf and F Scott Fitzgerald, the dark intimacies and the unspeakable costs of care. It reminds us, most of all, that to care is to labour as well as to love' --Jenn Ashworth, author of Fell ' Sam Mills presents her story with unflinching honesty, as delicate as her father' s health, as brave as her mother' s example. A book about what it means to be a carer, what it takes from you and, finally, what it gives' --Will Ashon, author of Chamber Music Praise for The Fragments of My Father: ' Mills takes you into the human heart at its most broken and its most hopeful in this brilliant book that will make you laugh and cry. It is a passionate cry for the millions of carers across the world, unpaid, unthanked, fighting every day out of love' --Kate Williams, author of Rival Queens
Sam Mills' s debut novel for adults, The Quiddity of Will Self, was described by The Sunday Times as ' an ingenious, energetic read' and by the Guardian as ' extraordinary' . Her literary memoir of caring for her father, Fragments of My Father, was published by Fourth Estate in July 2020.
