a mother, daughter, sister
for men to take
a woman at her word?"

"So hush and listen. This is the story of Judith, who paces, half dressed, consumed with outreach. You'll feel this outrage too one day. Perhaps you already have. It won't be for the same reasons. But you will rage, and be told you are too small, too weak, too feebleminded to be of use. You are not. Judith is not."

"The world will tell you not to be outraged, love. They will tell you to sit quietly, be kind. Be a lady.
And when they do? Be Judith instead."

"This book addresses the rapid social changes of a revitalized feminist movement in North America and around the world that is not merely altering the laws. It's changing our understanding of consent, power, rights, gender, voice, and representation. It is a gorgeously transformative movement led in particular by the young, on campuses, on social media, in the streets, and my admiration for this fearlessly unapologetic new generation of feminists and human rights activists is vast."

"This book is a tour through carnage, a celebration of liberation and solidarity, insight and empathy, and an investigation of the terms and tools with which we might explore all these things."
