The First Stone: Some Questions about Sex and Power by Helen Garner

challenging informative medium-paced

3.0

I’m a huge fan of Garner but this book hasn’t aged well. I can’t count the times I thought “what the hell was she thinking?” while reading it, and Garner comes across as whiny and out of touch. Still, it gave me a good perspective on the changes in thinking and knowledge and the amount of research that’s been done on the topic of sexual harassment in the past 28 years.  And even when she’s whiny, Garner writes beautifully.
