Book Description

A Times Higher Education Book of the Week

A virulent strain of antifeminism is thriving online that treats women's empowerment as a mortal threat to men and to the integrity of Western civilization. Its proponents cite ancient Greek and Latin texts to support their claims--from Ovid's Ars Amatoria to Seneca and Marcus Aurelius--arguing that they articulate a model of masculinity that sustained generations but is now under siege. Not All Dead White Men reveals that some of the most controversial and consequential debates about the legacy of the ancients are raging not in universities but online.

A chilling account of trolling, misogyny, racism, and bad history proliferated online by the Alt-Right... Zuckerberg makes a persuasive case for why we need a new, more critical, and less comfortable relationship between the ancient and modern worlds in this important and very timely book.
--Emily Wilson, translator of The Odyssey

Explores how ideas about Ancient Greece and Rome are used and misused by antifeminist thinkers today.
--Time

Zuckerberg presciently analyzes these communities'...embrace of stoicism as a self-help tool to gain confidence, jobs, and girlfriends. Their adoration of men like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Ovid...is founded in a limited and distorted interpretation of ancient philosophy...lending heft and authority to sexism and abuse.
--The Nation

Traces the application--and misapplication--of classical authors and texts in online communities that see feminism as a threat.
--Bitch Media

Author Bio

Donna Zuckerberg is a classicist, writer, and Editor-in-Chief of Eidolon, an online publication committed to non-traditional classical scholarship that is feminist, personal, and fun. She is the author of Not All Dead White Men (2018), a study of the reception of Classics in Red Pill communities. Her writing has also appeared in Jezebel, the Times Literary Supplement, and the Washington Post. Her second book is under contract with Harvard University Press.

Donna received her Ph.D. in Classics from Princeton University in 2014. Her dissertation, “The Oversubtle Maxim Chasers: Euripides, Aristophanes, and their Reciprocal Pursuit of Poetic Identity” won a Winkler Prize for its analysis of how Aristophanic parodies of Euripides influenced the development of Euripidean style. She has served as board member and Director of Communications for the Paideia Institute for Humanistic Study, which she co-founded in 2012. She currently lives in the Bay Area with her two sons, and the world’s sweetest, dumbest bulldog.
