@book { , title = {The politicization of Mumsnet.}, abstract = {This book investigates the growing politicization of Mumsnet and its use by politicians to influence middle-class women in the UK. The site's discussion topics go far beyond traditional 'mothering' subjects, and encompass politics, feminism and current affairs. Understood as a safe space for gender-critical voices, the site has spawned real-life activism and continues to be both praised and attacked for its support of free speech on controversial subjects. The author investigates how Mumsnet has become a central part of a resurgent women's rights movement in the UK. She argues that its openness to discussion around this subject has allowed the site to function as a subaltern counter-public - a space where gender-critical feminists have been able to share information and make plans for action and agitation.}, doi = {10.1108/9781839094682}, isbn = {9781839094712}, note = {INFO COMPLETE (now published, checked and updated 23/10/2020 LM -- rec'd from contact ; not yet published, but scheduled for September 2020 28.07.2020 GB) PERMISSION GRANTED (**Up to TWO chapters** ; version = AAM ; embargo = 0 months ; licence = BY-NC ; e-mail for blanket permission, rec'd 28.07.2020, and saved in publisher folder in inbox and network drive ; 29.07.2020 GB) DOCUMENT READY (rec'd AAM for first two chapters from contact 03.08.2020 GB -- requested AAM from contact 28.07.2020 GB) ADDITIONAL INFO: Sarah Pedersen}, pages = {1-178}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Emerald}, url = {https://rgu-repository.worktribe.com/output/957151}, keyword = {Mumsnet, Parenting websites, Parenting online forums, Feminism, Gender politics, Transphobia}, year = {2020}, author = {Pedersen, Sarah} }
