Laurie Penny’s non-fiction spans from Penny Red (2011), collecting her early journalism, through Sexual Revolution (2022), her most comprehensive work. The books address feminism, sexuality, online culture, and class from a left-wing perspective, written in a personal, direct style.
Her approach blends autobiography with political analysis. Meat Market (2012) examines the commodification of women’s bodies, Cybersexism (2013) looks at gender-based harassment online, and Bitch Doctrine (2017) collects essays on feminism and power. The books are argumentative and energetic, reflecting Penny’s background in both journalism and activism.
