Pauline Harmange

Pauline Harmange is a French author and feminist activist best known for her boldly provocative essay "I Hate Men", originally self-published in French as "Moi et les hommes, je déteste" before being picked up by a major publisher following an attempt by a French government official to have it banned — an act that only amplified its reach. Harmange writes with sharp wit and disarming honesty, exploring themes of misandry, female solidarity, and self-liberation. Her work has been translated into numerous languages, including Finnish as "Miksi vihaan miehiä", sparking vital conversations about gender, power, and the radical joy of prioritising women.
