Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

New York Times Bestseller "This is a devastating book, heartbreaking in how familiar and relatable each story is--yet there's power and solidarity in it, too."  -- Shondaland Edited and with an introduction by Roxane Gay, the New York Times bestselling and deeply beloved author of Bad Feminist and Hunger, this powerful feminist anthology of first-person essays from writers including Gabrielle Union, Brandon Taylor, and Lyz Lenz tackles rape, assault, and harassment head-on. Searing and heartbreakingly candid, this collection both reflects the world we live in and offers a call to arms insisting that "not that bad" must no longer be good enough. In this valuable and revealing anthology, cultural critic and bestselling author Roxane Gay collects original and previously published pieces that address what it means to live in a world where women have to measure the harassment, violence, and aggression they face, and where they are "routinely second-guessed, blown off, discredited, denigrated, besmirched, belittled, patronized, mocked, shamed, gaslit, insulted, bullied" for speaking out against a pervasive rape culture. Contributions include essays from established and up-and-coming writers, performers, and critics, including actors Ally Sheedy and Gabrielle Union and writers Amy Jo Burns, Booker Prize-nominated Brandon Taylor, and Lyz Lenz.  Covering a wide range of topics and experiences, from an exploration of the rape epidemic embedded in the refugee crisis to first-person accounts of child molestation, this collection of searing survivor stories is often deeply personal and is always unflinchingly honest. Like Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me, Not That Bad will resonate with every reader, saying "something in totality that we cannot say alone." This vital collection of personal essays explores: Unflinching Women's Voices: Searing, candid, first-person essays from writers, performers, and critics including Gabrielle Union, Brandon Taylor, Ally Sheedy, and Lyz Lenz. The Culture of Silence: An unflinching look at what it means to live in a world where women are routinely second-guessed, shamed, and gaslit for speaking out. A Spectrum of Experience: From an exploration of the rape epidemic in the refugee crisis to personal accounts of child molestation, these survivor stories cover a wide and difficult range of topics. Necessary Social Commentary: Edited by beloved cultural critic Roxane Gay, this anthology serves as a powerful call to arms, insisting that "not that bad" is no longer good enough. …
