Understood as a safe spacefor gender-critical voices, the site has spawned real-life activism andcontinues to be both praised and attacked for its support of free speech oncontroversial subjects.Sarah Pederseninvestigates how Mumsnet has become a central part of a resurgent women'srights movement in the UK.
