With her razor sharp wit and impeccable research skills, Jane Gilmore's Fixed It has delivered into the world a text that is essential to understanding the insidious ways our media minimises the impact of men's violence against women. #FixedIt won't just change lives - it will change society."
Clementine Ford
Jane Gilmore is not just changing how we think, she is changing how we use our words and maybe she is the first person to get those things the right way round.
Jane Caro
You have to stand outside the goldfish bowl to see the water. Jane Gilmore’s position as an “outsider” entering journalism on her own terms allows her to challenge the toxic assumptions behind how violence against women is reported. It’s an important contribution.
Margaret Simons
Gilmore’s Fixed It is a potent reminder of the dangers of dehumanising stereotypes, and the importance of interrogating and rethinking the way violence is reported on and discussed.
Tara Moss
Jane Gilmore tirelessly ‘fixes’ headlines that excuse or trivialise violence and abuse. Fixed It is her way of pushing back against the media’s erasure of violent men and blaming of innocent victims.
