Know My Name by Chanel Miller

5.0

I hurt with Chanel, for her and myself and any other survivors. This memoir was equally gutting as it was important to have read. I believe this is the first book where I have read the acknowledgements.

“When a woman is assaulted, one of the first questions people ask is, Did you say no? This question assumes that the answer was always yes, and that it is her job to revoke the agreement. To defuse the bomb she was given. But why are they allowed to touch us until we physically fight them off? Why is the door open until we have to slam it shut?”
