by Roxane Gay
First published 2018
In a world where women are routinely silenced, Roxane Gay's anthology gives voice to their stories of harassment, violence, and aggression. From actors to activists, contributors share raw, personal accounts - from the refugee crisis to street harassment. Unflinchingly honest, this powerful collection confronts the harsh realities of being a woman, demanding we can no longer accept "not that bad."
