A testament to why these horrible little men shouldn’t be remembered, and instead we should look to the lives and futures of these women who were better than him and should never be forgotten.

This is a book I’ll be thinking about for a while. It said a lot of what I’ve thought on this topic for a long time and I’m grateful it was written and that it was written in this way. 
To never use the defendant’s name was the best choice. To give names and voices to the women that have consistently been ignored in all of this, an even better one.
