The far-right is often associated with angry white men — but their female counterparts might be even more dangerous.  Dr Eviane Leidig, a postdoctoral fellow at Tilburg University and author of The Women of the Far Right: Social Media Influencers and Online Radicalization. She joins Marie Le Conte in The Bunker, to discuss how these women weaponise social media to disseminate extremist ideologies.  Dr Eviane Leidig’s book: The Women of the Far Right: Social Media Influencers and Online Radicalization  “These women are normalising and legitimising extreme ideas to mainstream audiences; they are not on fringe platforms, they are very much out in the open.” – Eviane Leidig  “There is a moment in which all these women describe feeling deeply unhappy and depressed with their lives — they attribute this to feminism, and prescribe traditionalism as the antidote.” – Eviane Leidig  Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Marie Le Conte.
