On The Table Read, “the best book magazine in the UK“, in new book, The Men I’ve Hated, Tinatswe Mhaka takes readers through her relationships with men from childhood to adulthood, and the effect they’ve had.

Written by Tinatswe Mhaka, ‘The Men I’ve Hated’ is a book that will open the eyes of men and make women nod their heads in silent, powerful agreement. Told from the perspective of a Zimbabwean woman, ’The Men I’ve Hated’ is a stirring examination of the role patriarchy plays in female existence, from birth through to adulthood.

Women’s Lives

As the entire world watches the United States with bated breath, wondering if Roe vs. Wade will be overturned by the Supreme Court, women’s rights campaigners and advocates know the decision will have wide reaching effects across the globe. Tinatswe Mhaka, author, lawyer and activist, is uniquely qualified to speak on the intricacies of feminism, empowerment and the myriad injustices that women face. 

Mhaka’s new book, ‘The Men I’ve Hated’, is a book that will resonate with women living through the age of #MeToo and the possible dissolution of abortion rights. Readers will get to know the protagonist inside and out, through the lens of her experiences with men – both agonizing and loving.

The Men I’ve Hated

The novel poses many compelling questions as it explores the devastating ramifications of the patriarchy on the lives of women and girls. 

The Men I’ve Hated

‘I imagined myself as the spirit that made sure the tassel did not break when they hung it on the ceiling or in a tree. I imagined myself holding onto the rope watching their necks break and bodies lifeless, far away where they could never hurt anyone ever again.’

A Zimbabwean woman takes readers on a journey through relationships with men from childhood to her adulthood. She interrogates the meaning of freedom and her place in the world through her experience of patriarchy in family, love and inescapable burdens of womanhood

Tinatswe Mhaka

“I am a feminist,” says Mhaka. “First and foremost – and that is the perspective with which I approach everything I do, from my advocacy, my work within the law, and my writing. With this book, my goal was to get down to the bones of the male / female relationship. What damage can it cause? How are women affected by the patriarchy and how is their growth stifled?”

Continuing, “Across the world, there’s a vast number of injustices faced by women – the recent news of Roe vs. Wade possibly being overturned just confirms that we are going backward, not forward. I work every day to bring justice for women and this book is a part of that – it’s dedicated to women everywhere. I hope to be their voice when they cannot speak.”
