Publisher's Synopsis
Edited and with an introduction by Roxane Gay, this anthology of first-person essays tackles rape, assault and harassment head-on. In this valuable and timely anthology, cultural critic and bestselling author Roxane Gay collects original and previously published pieces that address what it means to live in a world where women have to measure the harassment, violence and aggression they face, and where sexual-abuse survivors are 'routinely second-guessed, blown off, discredited, denigrated, besmirched, belittled, patronised, mocked, shamed, gaslit, insulted, bullied' for speaking out.
