The Burning by Laura Bates

4.0

4.5 I love Laura Bates from her Ted Talk and Guardian articles and think this books is another one for our times. It's about slut-shaming and revenge porn set in a fictional tale set in Scotland. As well as the modern day story of Anna, there's also a story about Maggie, who was wrongly accused of being a witch centuries before. The unfairness that so many women experience ruins so many lives and The Burning portrays this so well.
