Believe Me: How Trusting Women Can Change the World by Jessica Valenti

4.0

It took me four months to finally finish this book. Not because I thought it wasn't good, but because these essays were so powerful and personal that sometimes it became too much to keep going without a break. Sexual assault, rape, workplace harassment, sexism, and racism are heavy topics, but each of these writers leads a fearless charge to protect women from violence and show how the world needs to start believing their stories if we ever want to see true systemic change in our justice system, workplace, schools, and homes. This is also very timely reading for the #MeToo Movement and the Black Lives Matter Movement.
