About

The #metoo campaign has shown us that there are very few women (and people who identify as women)* who have not experienced sexual abuse/molestation/violation of some kind. Violations range from catcalls to unsolicited workplace backrubs to violence and rape ... and worse. Storytelling is a means of activism that can bring awareness to how issues affect us as individuals. Through stories, we share the depth and breadth of our truths and by sharing them, we ultimately change the world. This book is a tangible forum for women to publish their first-hand accounts in story form. The anthology will serve to enlighten readers about the ranges of our nuanced experiences and will ideally make a difference in reducing sexual violence against women.
