"In this valuable and revealing 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 they are 'routinely second-guessed, blown off, discredited, denigrated, besmirched, belittled, patronized, mocked, shamed, gaslit, insulted, bullied' for speaking out."-- Provided by publisher.

Heavy subject matter, but so important submitted by irksit on June 27, 2018, 10:12am This book was hard for me to read, mostly because I could relate so much to some of the stories in it. It was put together thoughtfully, and the selections are diverse in perspective. It helped me to stop downplaying my trauma and comparing it to others.

Must read submitted by Jinxyluis on July 23, 2018, 11:24am An outstanding collection. Each piece is of the highest quality, honest and thought provoking. Hard to read but well worth it.
