Summary:

Mapping out a trajectory that links the sexist buffoonery of Bobby Riggs in the 1970s, the popularity of Rush Limbaugh's screeds against 'Feminazis' in the 1990s and the present day misogyny underpinning Trumpism, Julie Willett shows what can happen when we neglect or trivialize the political power of humour.
