Books

Laurie has written two books and is working on a third, published by Bloomsbury in 2013.

MEAT MARKET: FEMALE FLESH UNDER CAPITALISM (Zer0 Books, 2011)

A short sliver of feminist polemic.

‘Laurie Penny hones her every phrase to a razor’s edge. She is absolutely surgical in her anatomising of a mad world. MEAT MARKET is the kind of cut you learn from.’ — Warren Ellis, author of Transmetropolitan

PENNY RED: NOTES FROM THE NEW AGE OF DISSENT (Pluto Press, 2011)

A book of blogs and columns from three years of anger, adventure and activism.

‘In riots, kettles and occupations, and with visceral anger, big-eyed desperation and wicked humour, this is Laurie Penny at her very best; filing articles on her Blackberry from the front line and giving a voice to a generation already at the end of its tether.’ –Dan Hancox, author of Kettled Youth

‘Cuts, sexism and riots, Laurie Penny’s fresh and angry voice captures the moment and the important issues highly recommended.’ –Polly Toynbee
