Victoria Smith

Victoria Smith is a British feminist author and journalist who writes under the name V (also known as Glosswitch). She is known for her sharp, provocative writing about feminism, motherhood, and gender politics. (Un)kind examines the pressure on women to be endlessly kind and accommodating, and what happens when kindness is weaponised as a tool of social control. Smith writes with intellectual rigour and a refusal to soften her arguments for comfort. Her audiobook and book is bracing, thought-provoking listening and reading for anyone interested in feminism, gender politics, and the complicated politics of niceness.
