I find myself coming back to this essay collection frequently. It is not something that is always easy or comforting to read but I find the wide range of essays has been helpful for personal reflection and processing. This book helped me to re-think the ways that sexual coercion and violence can exist or emerge in different facets of everyday life. Powerful stuff.

Absolutly profound. I was apprehensive at first due to my SA in the past but through the pieces I found validation and tiny snippets of hope. I loved this book. I will definitely reread.
