Mantilla's work is valuable . . . for gathering firsthand voices of gendertrolling victims about their experiences, reactions, and attempts to fight back. Furthermore, the author successfully contextualizes gendertrolling in the history of misogyny. By doing so, she persuasively argues that gendertrolling is not unique to digital experiences but is a new form of misogyny and abuse against women. She lists various recommendations for legal protections and strategies to fight against gendertrolling and generate solutions. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels/libraries.
