caroisreading's review against another edition

My heart broke over and over with every sexual assault, every moment stolen by older men. She writes beautifully and simply about her body as something she's detached from. She's commoditized the male gaze, its own form of power, but even that is taken away from her. The traumatic detail she has to share is needed, in a world that doesn't want to listen to her more than look.
This was hard material to read through, though I'm glad I did, to see more reality, and less posturing that's fed to us through celebrity. Emily is a survivor, and I appreciate her words and reflection. Looking forward to reading more from her!

She discusses autonomy, power dynamics, learning when and how to speak up for ourselves, and whether we are making choices because it’s what we want or because we feel like we have to. These are all nuanced things we learn and absorb growing into ourselves, especially as women. Very impactful.

Stories about one woman's experience with her body made me feel so many things. A lot of anger for her, sympathy as I related to her.
I loved it and would v highly recommend.
