Know My Name by Chanel Miller
5.0
"It seemed once you submitted to walking through fraternity doors, all laws and regulations ceased. They were not asked to adhere to the same rules, yet there were countless guidelines women had to follow: cover your drink, stick close to others, don't wear short skirts. Their behavior was the constant, while we were the variable expected to change. When did it become our job to do all the preventing and managing?"
Chanel Miller is such a great writer. This book is so heavy and yet I could not put it down. Throughout the entire book I felt so connected to Chanel, and it could be because (unfortunately) all women can relate with this book. Even if they haven't been sexually assaulted themselves, there's a high chance they have a friend or family member that has, especially considering the statistics is 1 in 5 women.
I don't consider myself an emotional person, I rarely cry, but when I say I was sobbing multiple times in this book, I mean literally sobbing. This book is so important and I'm in complete AWE of Chanel and her strength to speak up and relive this over and over for the sake of victims everywhere. This was an easy 5 stars for me and I'm so glad I read it.
