What We Talk About When We Talk about Rape by Sohaila Abdulali
4.0
** A copy of What We Talk about When We Talk about Rape was provided by the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review **
As someone who studies gender and sexual violence, I know that most of the writing around it isn't always the most accessible. Abdulali's book breaks the barrier: this is a highly engaging and easily accessible book on rape culture. The short essays are easy to follow but still pack a punch. This is a powerful collection of essays on stigma, victim-blaming, anger, humanity and smashing the patriarchy. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who wants to make the world a better place.
